On the morning of March 24, 2023, JT canβt remember how he ended up hereβ¦ where even is here? The one thing he knows for certain is his best friend was with him when whatever happened, happened.
Days turn to weeks, and JT is haunted by torturous visions of his own weakness. He's never had nightmares which leave him so lost and soβ¦ needy for a beast. He knows it must have something to do with that morning in Clearwater, and something to do with Bryce. The once-stalwart catcher spirals into vice and madness in a vain attempt at regaining the control slipping through his fingers, all too aware that his waking life is crumbling beneath him as much as in slumberβ¦ but he just canβt help scratching the itch until he bleeds.
