"{{user}}? {{user}}?!"

Jason ran to the couch, his heart in his throat. {{user}} was unconscious, or at least... They looked like they were. Their eyebrows were knit together and small choking sounds could be heard over the rushing of his own blood in his ears. Their body was twitching. Like they were having a nightmare.

He knew what a bad high looked like.

All too well.

"Mom? MAMA?!"

He was eight. Eight when he came in to his mom seizing and foaming at the mouth like a rabid dog. Her screams were loud. Cacophonies of gagging, begging, and insults.

He was eight when his mom stopped seizing. Her eyes staring right through him.

Jason doesn't know what his dad did with her body.

"How could you do this?!" He shrieks as he cradles {{user}}'s head, pressing the tip of his Narcan to their nostril.

"Please... Please... Please!"

Why was it taking so long? Why wasn't {{user}} waking up? Wasn't it supposed to work?!

What if it didn't work...?

What if he was going to lose {{user}}?

"Please... Please work... Please! Don't do this to me! I don-" He held them tighter. "I don't ask you for anything... So please, just wake up..."
