Summary
Ilya doesn’t trust pills, especially anything addictive. He’s seen too many people he loved fall into addictive cycles and pills can be used for evil, Sasha’s addiction and his mother’s suicide immediately coming to mind for him. Shane was nervous for different reasons, ones he didn’t really state out loud: he didn’t want Ilya to have easy access to pills at home, especially ones so easy to overdose on.
The team doctor encouraged him to take the pills anyway. Shane wants a speedy recovery, he wants to be playing again, back in control as soon as possible. So he took them. He’d be done with them soon enough, he wouldn’t have to worry about Ilya being around them, and he’ll be recovered just in time for the Irina Foundation Game Changers Summer Camps to start up in Montreal two weeks after the end of the season.__________________________
After a season ending injury, Shane is prescribed opioid medications to deal with a beat up shoulder. What was supposed to be small doses to help with the pain quickly spiraled out of control as Shane tried to remain in control. It's fine, he knows what he's doing, and Ilya never has to know.
