　　The anti-war activist was not surprised at all that his primary adversary, the Admiral, had been afflicted with a drug addict for a son. He was actually quite happy to find out that his enemy had such personal problems. It was the advent of a new day, however,when the activist decided to help administer the treatment for the adolescent and help the Admiral fight this adverse situation. And it was clear that the Admiral was a wonderful person when the activist saw how much the Admiral adored his son.

　　Now living in an adjacent room in a special section of a treatment center,the activist was able to adhere to the strictest methods for helping the boy fight his addiction. The activist was able to help with aesthetic changes, such as adorning the boy with clean clothes, as well as affirm the boy as his body struggled with the medical additives that would help the boy get better.

　　Certain events were luckily also not adhesive in the youth's mind.This included the boys' aerial leap from a tall building. He did not die only because he landed in the swimming pool of the adjoining building.

　　And now the activist was gaining the attention of his affiliates because of his honorable actions.This had never been his motive.He had only wanted to help a person in need.And, as the Admiral adjourned their weekly meeting about the boy's progress, the activist was really happy that he had been able to make a difference in someone's life.

　　这位反战积极分子的主要对手，舰队司令因儿子染上毒瘾而十分苦恼，但他对此一点也不感到奇怪。实际上，发现他的敌人有这样的个人问题，他还感到很高兴。然而，当这位积极分子决定帮助实施对这位青少年的治疗并协助舰队司令对付这种不利情况时，新的到来了。很显然，当这位反战积极分子看到舰队司令对儿子是如何喜爱时，舰队司令成了一个可爱的人。

　　现在这位反战积极分子正住在邻近治疗中心特区的一个房间里，因而他能够坚持用最严格的方法帮助那个男孩戒除毒瘾。这位反战积极分子能够用审美上的变化提供帮助，如用干净的衣服打扮男孩，当他的身体与医疗添加剂的副作用做斗争的时候他会断言它们会使他好起来。

　　有些事情幸好没有在这个年轻人的心中留下记忆，其中包括他从高楼的空中跳下。他没有死只是因为他掉到了邻近大楼的游泳池里。

　　由于他的诚心相助，这位反战积极分子得到了他的下属的注意。这并不是他原来的动机。他只是想帮助一个需要帮助的人。在舰队司令让每周召开的讨论男孩病情的会议休会时，这位积极分子为自己能使一个人的生活发生变化而感到由衷的高兴。
