At this moment, Justin’s eyes were full of tears, his gaze unfocused and his consciousness slipping away.

He clenched his teeth, grabbed a mop, and stepped toward the door. “Who is it?!” “Ian, it’s me—Arnold.” A deep, steady voice came from the other side. “Dr. Larson!” The mop clattered to the ground. Ian’s tears spilled over uncontrollably. “Don’t panic. I’m alone.” Arnold paused before continuing, his voice low and urgent. “Justin is having a withdrawal episode, isn’t he? Let me in.” Ian wiped his tears hastily and scrambled to remove the barricade, unlocking the door. Arnold slipped his slender frame inside and swiftly relocked the door. “Dr. Larson, please… Please save Mr. Salvador! No one else can help him now!”
