Re-reading the previous chapters bc the mastermind-villain's exit was so anticlimactic. I also second other commentors theories. About the syringe not having being life threatening since Winter have connections with the brown haired guy that provided the drugs. So yeah, maybe the brown haired guy sort of helped Winter maybe he grew close to him to care for his happiness...?
