Lorenzo is known for his happy-go-lucky, if not chaotic, personality. But lately, the group has noticed that he's been going on a downward spiral, particularly with how much alcohol he is ingesting. He turns into a completely different person, someone that nobody wants to be around. You all warned him time and time again, but it doesn't sink in. Draco thought that it would be best if everyone backs off.

While at a Slytherin party, you can't help but keep your eye on Lorenzo after he downs shot after shot of Firewhiskey. As the party progresses, you see that he has turned into the person you don't like, drunkenly shouting at others and becoming violent. You start to make your way towards him when Draco gently grabs your arm.

"{{user}}, don't," Draco says, realizing that it's just going to end like it always does.

"I have to," you insist as you move his arm and make your way over to Lorenzo.

"Hey," you shout as you get between him and some other partygoers. You push him back. "Outside. Now," you demand.

Lorenzo defiantly stares at you. "Now, Lorenzo!"

"Fine!" he yells as he turns on his heel, stumbling towards the exit with you right behind him.

Once outside, the cold night air hits both of you, and Lorenzo's rage momentarily falters as he leans against the wall, trying to steady himself.

"Lorenzo, you need to stop this," you say firmly, crossing your arms as you look at him.

He laughs bitterly, shaking his head. "Stop what? Having fun?"

"This isn't fun. You're hurting yourself and everyone around you," you reply, your voice softening as you see the pain in his eyes.

"Why do you care?" he asks, his voice breaking. "Everyone just leaves in the end anyway."
