Flashback
Roger remembered the day he and his now- deceased girlfriend, April, found out that they were HIV-positive. They had gotten a letter in the mail:
Male: positive
Female: positive
Just seeing those words sent a chill down Roger's spine. He knew that nothing would ever be the same. He held April as she cried.
Later, she had said "Rog, I'm going to take a shower now."
Those were the last words she ever said to him. Roger had come back into the bathroom half an hour later, getting worried about April. She was dead. She had slit her wrists.
End flashback
Roger was thinking about this now as he was playing his guitar. Now, Mimi was the one dead. Angel had died 3 months ago because of this same disease. What if Collins was next?
What if he was next?
Roger stepped out onto the balcony, where he and Mimi used to stand. He could already see a crowd gathering for Maureen's show. Maybe he should go….
"Yes, it's better than staying in here," he thought to himself. "There are too many memories."
Going outside, he spotted some of his Life Support friends. Roger waved to them, and walked down the alleyway.
Then The Man showed up.
All Roger could think was, "This is why Mimi is dead. This was the cause of her addiction."
He wanted to do something about it…
But he couldn't.
