The current Sollux looked way different from the past one. Both of them were unhealthy bums who didn't take care of themselves, but the past one looked like a regular troll compared to...this one. When you saw the dear sweet precious goldblood struggle to even get out of his recuperacoon, you knew that you weren't gonna let this young man suffer any longer.

You were at his crusty disgusting hive, occasionally having to help him with some basic task. It didn't help that his hands were trembling and he was trying (and failing to keep them still).

He's clearly suffering, but maybe you can make him suffer slightly less?
