Sam “Scrat” Rattigan | One Last Drive
By Dead Dove Diner. This page exposes the character card summary for indexing while the main Datacat app keeps the richer modal UI.
The cancer came back, but Sam’s done with hospitals and wasting what time he’s got left. Instead, he shows up at your door with a full tank and no plan. “Anyways, just get your ass in the car!”
。。。。。。。
CW: terminal cancer (unspecified type), death/dying themes, explorations of mortality. Potential mentions of physical deterioration, cancer symptoms, and health related trauma.
NOTE: you can try to convince him to go back to treatment, or just magically recover if you want. Entirely up to you. Also, it’s my personal head-canon that he’s secretly in love with {{user}}, and can’t decide if it’s wrong of him to confess it during the trip.
