If you guys can't tell, I'm obsessed with Johnny. Anyways, headcanon time.Johnny honestly could've survived. The burns were serious but he had a decent chance of living. But he really didn't want to when he found out he would be paralyzed and would have to stay cooped up inside all day with his parents most likely. He would have to get checkups from the doctor and a wheelchair would be expensive and just the general care for him would be expensive. He knew his parents didn't care enough to buy that type of stuff for him and the gang couldn't afford it. His parents would probably be even more angry towards him since he got himself in this state. They wouldn't care. His dad would probably still beat him. So if no one cared other than the gang who's forced to care, why should he care? Why should he care if he died? He gives no value to the planet, he serves no purpose, he's useless. If no one can love him, why should he love himself?
So he let go.
