The scene's own bottom, and the far end of the same door Tiny Ewell found locked: yrstruly kicks withdrawal for two days in the hallway outside his mother's apartment, locked out in payback, before he can even reach a detox for methadone and food. The street version of the intake trajectory — the same collapse, the same changed locks, the same detox at the end, told from decades further down.
