quick scribble of Chey and Alaska, circa 2016

It wasn't a good time for Chey...and after relapsing into heroin for a second time, he was real close to just giving up on himself. Alaska, who he'd only recently reconnected with, could sense his hopelessness and her care is the main reason he was able to scrape himself back together and get better. She and Reggie took good care of him, thankfully.
