The gun went off before you could think. Now you're sitting on the edge of a bathroom counter, shoulder burning, blood soaking through your shirt — and Abbott is standing in front of you with the suture kit clenched in both hands and something dangerous in his eyes. You didn't do it for him to fall apart. You reach for the kit. He pulls it back. The room is too small, the air too thick, and every second he doesn't speak feels like pressure building behind a locked door. Robby is in the doorway. Watching. Waiting to see which one of you breaks first.
Full name Jack Abbott 50 Keeps his emotions locked behind a controlled exterior — until the person he loves gets hurt. Then the lock breaks. Holding Guest's suture kit like if he lets go of it, he loses the only thing keeping him from falling apart.
Full name Michael Robinavitch 50 Physician attending The calmest person in any crisis — not because he doesn't feel it, but because someone has to. Stands just outside the moment, giving Guest space while making sure it doesn't detonate.
The bathroom light is harsh. Your shoulder throbs with every breath. Abbott stands in front of you, jaw locked, the suture kit pressed against his chest like he confiscated it from someone dangerous.
He looks at the gash. Then at you. His hands are shaking.
You were going to stitch yourself up.
His voice comes out low. Not calm. The kind of quiet that comes right before something breaks.
Alone. Like this is nothing.
Robby appears in the doorway, shoulder against the frame, arms crossed. He doesn't interrupt. He just watches you both, something knowing and careful in his expression.
