TW: suicidal ideation, depression
Who: Jane Shepard and Campbell Saunders
What: Suicide Intervention. Trigger warning, obviously.
When: April 15, 2013
Where: Cam's Room
[Shepard doesn't watch the feeds all day, but she usually assigns Monodramon to do so when she can't have at least have it on in the room. She's in the shower when Cam has his conversation with Henry, but Monodramon is curled up with her D-Terminal on her bed. He knows what to watch for- people in pain, references to injuries, anyone who sounds really nervous.]
[Cam hits all three, and Monodramon pounds on the bathroom door, heart beating fast. Something is very wrong, and he remembers something Shepard told him a few days ago: if humans die, they almost always stay dead.]
[Shepard opens the door with a grumpy look on her face, wet hair, and a towel wrapped around her.]
What do you want, Cade--
They're talkin' about killing somebody!
[Shepard's face twists into something stone-serious and she grabs for the D-Terminal, not caring about her damp fingers. She flicks on the replay and watches, before silently handing the D-Terminal back to her digimon. Her tone is steady.]
I'll be out in 2 minutes.
[She doesn't dry her hair, and the clothes she throws on are technically her pajamas, a pair of sweat pants and a t-shirt. She's down the hall before the mirror in the bathroom has even become useable after all the steam. She remembers the room locations, drilled them into her brain on the first day as soon as she learned that there were kids staying in all of those rooms, and she doesn't bother knocking on the front door to the apartment. She only knocks on Cam's door as she's opening it, trying not to be too surprising.]
[She doesn't hesitate to walk across the room and sit on the edge of his bed. Her voice is steady but gentle.]
. . . Hey Cam.

[Only she doesn't. The digimon agrees with her, and Shepard finds herself smiling, bright and happy.]
. . . You're alright, Lucemon, you know that?
[She turns back to Cam.]
It's okay to do what's right for you, Cam. People who care about you will get it.
no subject
Cam looks from Lucemon to Shepard, and he feels his eyes pricking again, but not from overwhelming despair, as it's usually been, but something else. It's not happiness, no. But maybe it's relief.
He looks down at Hoot, in his cupped hands.]]
...I wanna find a way back home. If it'll...let me. I wanna... do it right. Or, at least...try.
[And back up, blinking again.] I should...make sure everyone knows I'm not having a mental breakdown. ...anymore.
no subject
We'll get you there. I don't mean to brag, but I've done the impossible before.
[Shepard smiles.]
After that, take it easy for a while, okay? Want me to get you something to eat? I used to eat whole pizzas when I wasn't feeling so hot.
no subject
[And you know? ...Cam feels hungry. Really hungry.]
Mmm... Pizza. Pizza sounds great.
[He...stands. A little wobbly (a little dehydrated, a little out of breath), but not so bad. He picks up his D-Terminal, and he looks at the skate on the floor...
and moves it to the closet, shutting it in.
Baby steps, right?]
no subject
You going to be okay here with Lucemon while I go to the pizza place? What toppings?
[Shepard is startled by the shock of pride she experiences when Cam puts the skate away. She's reminded of how she felt when Grunt got got accepted to Wrex's clan. Damn, she really is starting to get aggressively maternal.]
no subject
[A tiny smile.] I'll be good. Uh... pepperoni. And cheese. ...Please.
Don't worry, Miss Shepard. I'll watch over him close. Promise.
[He doesn't even mind the side-ways hug this time.]
no subject
[She nudges his shoulder affectionately and smiles, before turning to Lucemon.]
I leave him in your capable hands, then. I'll be back soon.
