Scene 1: Noticing the signs
Kea walks into Thabo's room. He is half-asleep, breathing slowly.
He mumbles but does not properly respond.
Kea
“Hey, Thabo, are you okay?”
Thabo
“…mmh.”
The next day, she overhears his friends.
Kea feels uneasy. She remembers reading that opioids slow down breathing, and that high amounts can be fatal.
Friend
“That new batch is strong, you just have to be careful with the dose.”
