"Someone else gave you something?" I don't mean to repeat her words verbatim but it takes me a second to realize what she means. I've been here long enough to know that drugs exist and I know that there were some Masks that used things they shouldn't to make them better warriors. My mother was always good at sniffing those out so it never lasted and, consequently, neither did they.

Still, I'm a little surprised that Raven's resorted to that. I know the pain was worsening but I'd assumed she'd rather live it with than go that route.

"Okay, what did they give you?" I ask, hands still on her shoulders, thumbs rubbing slow circles there. "Something illegal? I want to help no matter what it is, Raven. It's okay. I'll help you."
