Everest
No, no, this isn't how Mateo dies.
Now you might be asking yourself how it is that Everest Hart just happens to be in the right alley at the right time to find Mateo. For now we'll call it PlOt ArMoUR but in actuality now that he's an adult, the complexities of Ever's life are...harder to describe, and right now, this is about Mateo.
Shoving a wet nose against the side of his friend's neck and snorfling, Ever relies briefly on his canine senses to answer questions and provide evidence his human senses wouldn't even be able to guess at. Mateo wasn't on the verge of a seizure or a diabetic episode, which was good. He smelled of sick and adrenaline, which was also good, because neither of those things were tinged with death. Shifting back but remaining kneeling Ever reaches for Mateo's chin to steady his friend's droopy neck. "If you're going to vomit you need to tell me, otherwise I need to check your pupils." This is said with relative calm. It isn't their first rodeo, after all.

even if i had to lose you to know you,
i'd still be that temporary phase that you grow through
