[Rean's having a fine time in his empty room, up until he isn't. When the drugs drain thin in his system and his body starts crashing. The withdrawal is bad. The first one leaves him shaky and sweaty, throwing up in the tiny bathroom, curled on the floor and crying.
The first one is the easiest.
The next time Crow comes he fights harder, yells louder. But the high takes hold like before, and like before Crow is long gone when Rean is left crying and shivering on the floor.
After five days his arms are bloody and scabbed from Rean clawing at them. And there's something wrong, the high should last longer than it does but every day the period shortens alarmingly and the withdrawal gets worse, the pain and craving lasts. On the first day the high lasted twelve hours, the fifth it's down to six.
On the sixth day Rean doesn't fight, doesn't get up from the curled ball of misery he is on the floor. He doesn't offer his arm but doesn't struggle when an orderly drags it up from where it's tight around his knees.]
