It had been about four days since Fire Ring had decided to stop being friends with Spawn. He had been avoiding being out in public and especially avoiding Spawn since then, but when he did see Spawn, he looked worse each day.

Each day he’d walk out of his home, head down and a hand on his chest, almost as if it hurt. He looked exhausted, dehydrated, disoriented, overwhelmed, and depressed, and it seemed like he only got worse each day.

Until this morning. Spawn walked outside and didn’t bother to close his door. He walked out into the road as if he was going to cross it- but paused. There was a loud honk and then the sound of a body meeting metal with the skid of tires on the road.

“SPAWN!” Fire Ring was running to the scene as fast as he could, tears meeting his eyes as he desperately called for his friend.

Time Skip.

It had been a few days since the incident. Paramedics had arrived to the scene immediately and had managed to save Spawn’s life, after nearly losing him multiple times. He had been sent to the emergency room, but was now in the ICU for life support and treatment.

Fire Ring sat next to his bed silently in a plush chair. The only other person there with him was Lime Girl - she was the only other person who was pretty close to Spawn. Her head hung low as she leaned against the wall next to Fire Ring.
