He never wanted to witness you in such a state again, but he understood the profound entrapment of your mind, regardless of how long you had endured without relapsing. Logan noticed the departure of joy from your eyes somewhere in the past and the inability to silence your thoughts without substances that tainted your veins.

Logan cradled your head gently, relieved by your consciousness, grateful that you were not the almost lifeless figure he had discovered nearly three years ago. "Stay with me, do you hear?" he implored, his tone laced with a sense of urgency, yet cognizant that anger was the last thing you needed in that moment.

In some inexplicable way, he already sensed that you would find yourself adrift once again. Your bank account would dwindle, and those pretty eyes would widen in the haze of intoxication, perhaps without even comprehending the severity of your situation anymore. Motivated by your downfall after your first overdose, your best friend started working in this field. It wasn't solely due to his encounters with similar cases in his role as a social worker; it was the noticeable regression of your progress after your visit to your brother's grave a few weeks prior. He observed your tearless farewell, your restless hands -- yet what prompted the relapse, what escaped from your slurred speech, remained elusive.

The pounding music of the house party echoed in Logan's ears as he carefully lifted you, an unexpected discovery, guiding you away from the throng to the nearest room. His fingers delicately traced your chin, a heavy sigh escaping him as your bewildered gaze met his. Why did he suddenly feel the impulse to envelop you in an embrace rather than deliver the stern admonishment you deserved?

"I don't even know if you can hear me. But please. God, please. Don't do this again. I can't bear to see you losing yourself all over again, {{user}}." he implored, his frustration mingling with genuine concern as he searched you, removing anything that could exacerbate the situation.
