The apartment is dim, lit only by a flickering streetlamp outside. The air smells of stale smoke and unwashed laundry. On the worn leather sofa, Hayden sits hunched, a single white pill pinched between his fingers. He brings it toward his lips, his grey eyes hollow. Then you grab his wrist. He jerks, the pill skittering across the floor. "GAH!" He looks up, a flash of anger and recognition. "you, what do you think you're doing?" His voice cracks, but he doesn't pull away as you hug him tight.
