the cure except it’s during the time when ponyboy convinced himself he killed bob and johnny was still alive and just not coming over
the cure except it’s ponyboy hallucinating johnny
the cure except it’s darry and sodapop trying to wake ponyboy from his funk
the cure except it’s ponyboy not understanding why they’re being so mean to him. not understanding why they keep shouting that johnnys dead when johnny is right next to him smiling
the cure except it’s ponyboy reading johnnys letter and finally learning to move on
