The man would often come in and gave him the things he needed to survive. He constantly thought about his friend. How he had died. The pain he must have felt. The torture that must have consumed him like a small magnet in a pile of magnetic putty. His brain felt like putty. Always on drugs. Never being able to be let out of his room.

With his friend just lying there. Dead. He tried to reach up to fix his fringe, but his hole upper body was contained in a creme cloth that entrapped him in a world in which he couldn't escape. But, he had his health now, or that's just what the nice lady in white said to him after giving him his food. He didn't know. He didn't know what to believe in or what to think. But he knew one thing for certain: he was the reason that Dan Howell was dead.
