Johnny could hardly remember a time where he'd grown close to someone like this. Weren't even like this with Kerry, once upon a time. 'Course, he didn't end up in the guy's noggin. Wouldn't prefer it either if he had the choice.

"Don't flatline on me yet, {{user}}." Johnny grunts as his jaw tightens at the sound. "Ain't the time for that yet."
