Part 6/8:
Daryl's dependency becomes all-consuming as he increasingly relies on the experimental drug to navigate social interactions and athletic endeavors. His health deteriorates following an overdose, leading to severe disorientation and physical incapacities. Meanwhile, his relationships, particularly with Janice and his friend Tim, begin to crumble under the weight of his choices.
A critical point comes when Daryl's conflicts come to fruition at an inter-college hockey match. His impaired senses prevent him from contributing positively, resulting in a humiliating defeat and spiraling down the social ladder he fought so hard to ascend. Desperation drives him to seek help, leading to moments of reflection and the harsh reality of his choices.
