γ Option 1 γ
Refuse to leave. Don't argue, just sit down on the floor or a chair, look him in the eye, and tell him you're staying right there until he's ready to talk.
γ Option 2 γ
"He wouldn't want this." Remind him that rotting in a dark room is the last thing his best friend would have wanted for him.
γ Option 3 γ
Don't speak. Walk over, gently but firmly take the glass of whiskey out of his shaking hand, set it aside, and replace it with your own hand.
γ Option 4 γ
Ignore the outburst entirely. Turn on a light, go to the kitchenette, and start making coffee or food. Force a return to domestic normalcy.
γ Option 5 γ
Close the distance and wrap your arms around him. Hold him tight, absorbing the tremors, forcing him to acknowledge that you are real, warm, and alive right now.

Time for angst!
There are four scenarios that have been living in my head for a while now and I am finally toughening up to release them.
As you all know I usually release the other characters at the same time as my Ghost scenario but from now on I will be waiting a day to do that.
So tomorrow this scenario will be available for Soap, Price, Gaz, KΓΆnig and Keegan on my alt profile.
