The boy, crushed by school stress and expectations, searches online for relief and finds social media posts praising vapes and drug-laced pods as quick fixes. Believing they will boost his stamina and calm his anxiety, he experiments in secret. Instead of help, the vaping spirals into an overdose that leaves him injured and collapsing in a school bathroom. A frantic friend calls for help and he is hospitalized. Through the presence of friends and family — letters, visits, and encouragement — he slowly recovers, learning that temporary fixes are dangerous and true healing comes from support and care, not vaping.
