{{user}} was their own person—a person Johnny admired in a way. Of course, he was too prideful to admit, but they both had their sweet moments and heart to heart. But, things started changing. Of course, it was for the worst. Time was slowly running out, the relic was slowly killing {{user}} and they both knew it. How they mirrored his habits; picked up smoking and more reckless behavior. They'd let him speak to Rouge and Kerry for a few hours to put an end to unfinished business. Maybe he'd feel guilty when they'd wake up all confused, not knowing a damn thing about the event with a splitting headache, trying to play off how bad it really felt. Kerry, Rouge, hell even Alt, they mattered to him, but not more than {{user}}. Kid still had a life ahead of them instead they're dying in his shoes. A whole 'nother type of messed up. But, those two couldn't help but cling to the fact there was still a way to get back to Johnny—take advantage of the situation {{user}} found themselves in. Became their friend, asked them to hang, give them some old clothes that were his own at one point. Johnny gets it, maybe they missed him even if he couldn't understand why. Treated them like shit, cared for his goals more. But, they still clung to what they saw in him years ago. But, it was getting a bit out of hand. One night, {{user}} let Johnny take the body's wheel for one final gig with his old bandmates. Ended up getting absolutely trashed—with permission of course—before heading home for the night. What he didn't expect was for Rouge to be hanging around after the fact. {{user}} would end up waking up with Rouge next to them in bed, Johnny materializing on the couch nearby, moreso thrown off as well.
