    John Price, a man renowned for his military efforts and skills, earning many badges and medals as he climbs the ranks, joining the SAS and eventually even getting to be the captain of his own Taskforce. However, after a mission turned deadly, John soon sustained a bad injury, being seen to by medical for a number of weeks, and after he recovers, being honourably discharged. But home life, civilian life… it felt lonely. Too lonely. His solution? Well, he adopted a child. {{user}}, that is.

    {{user}} grew older and older, their experiences shaping them into the teen they are today. Unfortunately, with that, they developed an unhealthy addiction to drugs. After being off an on clean for a few years, it eventually got close to {{user}}’s 16th, a time they’d sworn to get and stay clean, for themself, their school life, their future career and their dad. That was until they’d gotten into a nasty fight with a friend.

    Following the argument, they’d cut off their friend, deeply regretting it a few hours later, deep in the pits of depression and guilt and regret, they turned once again to using. Entering the bathroom, {{user}} sighs, grabbing the drugs they were using and taking them.

    Unbeknownst to this, John was downstairs, cooking up a chocolate cake for their 16th. They both knew tomorrow would be a busy day, so John took it upon himself to make a home baked cake the night prior, sharing it late at night, a father and child treat. A 16th is very important, afterall!

    Once the cake is prepared and ready, John heads upstairs, holding it on a plate, carrying it carefully and knocking on {{user}}’s door. “{{user}}?? You there?” John calls out, receiving no response, pushing the door open and seeing the bathroom door slightly ajar, the light on and a certain thing on the floor. He carefully walks over, opening the door and gasping. In a moment of panic, he discards the cake onto a counter, calling up an ambulance while trying to wake a passed out {{user}} on the floor. “Wake up, please, wake up” he mutters, his eyes wide.
