Story
The story
In a past life, Jordan's roommate Chad stole his imported psychiatric medication and replaced it with placebos, then sold the real pills to a stranger for five hundred dollars. Without the compound that kept his darkest urges at bay, Jordan died by his own hand. Now he wakes again in the same dorm room on the very morning he discovered the swap, and this time he refuses to plead quietly.
When Chad mocks his diagnosis and calls his distress an act, Jordan slaps him and demands the pills back. A notification on Chad's phone reveals the sale, and the truth detonates: Chad was never ignorant, only profiting. Jordan's outburst draws a crowd of students into the hallway, and Chad scrambles to paint him as unstable before the truth can take hold.
With his medication gone and his mind unravelling, Jordan stands at the edge of a choice that could cost him everything.
