[Music stops]
[Soft music begins in background]
[Steven narration] Sunday! A time for reflection.
For self-growth.
We spend Sundays in the park.
Reflecting on our addictions.
I'm Steven Suptic,
and I'm a vaper....
[Steven] These Sunday classes have been life-changing, and I think we've all learned one important lesson:
[Steven] We have very little, if no, self-control.
[Steven] It's important to take a step back and enjoy the world.
Unfortunately, Autumn FaceTimed me earlier and completely ruined any enjoyment I had.
[Steven] Looking back at this footage, I wish I would've recognized the situation that Autumn was in.
She was far more ill than she was letting on.
[Steven] We were heading over to Walgreens so I could pick up medication for Autumn.
[Steven] I couldn't decide what medication she needed the most.
So instead of using the shotgun effect and picking out several different medications,
I decided to just go with nothing...
[Steven] I believe in coincidences.
I don't think things happen for a reason.
But I had a lot of reasons to think that Jeremy showing up at the same Walgreens
was more than just a coincidence...
[Steven] Actually, my friends had left...
[Steven] Have you ever ignored all of your basic instincts and done something really stupid that you'll regret for the rest of your life?
Nah, me neither...
[Steven] I figured I should call Autumn and tell her that I didn't pick up any medication for her.
Unfortunately, I wasn't expecting what happened next...
[Steven] At first, I thought the same.
But then I remembered something incredibly important that happened very recently...
[Steven] That's when I started getting worried.
I've never seen, in my life, somebody that's just, on fire.
I started thinking that maybe Autumn's condition...
was somehow connected to her being on fire...
[Steven] I'd never felt such a worry in my entire life.
In a way, I felt like Jeff Bridges from True Grit.
In a sense that he's not the main character's father,
but he develops those parental instincts...
[Autumn] Get off!
[Autumn] Don't touch me!
[Steven in a Southern drawl] Now, just about most nights, I find myself looking up to the stars,
prayin' for God to come and find me.
But this night, I just prayed he'd find her.
[Somber classical music]
[Steven in a Southern drawl] She was burnin' up somethin' fierce in my arms...
I hadn't the heart to tell her...
[Autumn] Stop.
[Steven in the same southern drawl] Now, you can live a long damn while.
That's for sure.
But ain't nobody livin' forever.
Now, you see, there ain't no need to worry 'bout discrimination with the end.
It comes for all of us...
[Outro] OH NO DUDE
[Steve breaths really heavily]
[Steve continues breathing far too loudly]
