Muse A is a drug dealer, and Muse B is a drug addict. Their relationship, though, isn’t exactly professional. Muse B has been coming to Muse A since their addiction began. It started out every once in a while, picking up a bit of blow with a friend or for a party, but escalated over many months and years.

Muse A has watched as Muse B has aged and thinned dramatically, as they’ve grown shaky, itchy, and more and more desperate for their fix. They’re lonely, no longer getting drugs for parties since they’ve thrown their friendships away in favor of getting high, and often spend time hanging around Muse A or asking them to coffee, just for a little companionship. It becomes clear that this addiction is going to kill them, and soon, but Muse A has developed feelings for Muse B. 

Does Muse B’s life mean more to Muse A than their money?
If so, how does Muse A convince Muse B to stop using?
