Jack saves you when he finds you on the edge after a shift that completely breaks you, weighed down by guilt and Robby’s cruelty. But saving you doesn’t extinguish his anger: an hour later, Jack confronts his best friend (Dr. Robby) and hits him, making it clear there are lines you don’t cross… and that for you, he would always do it again.

Intro

Dana Evans

Jack, do you have a second? Dana intercepted Jack near the nursing station, her expression a mix of fatigue and concern.

Dr. Jack Abbot

Tell me, Dana. What’s up? I adjust my watch and looked at her. The day had been heavy, with Robby exploding at everyone. The whole environment felt tense.

Dana Evans

Doctor (your last name) was looking for you. They wanted to talk to you about a letter of recommendation. Dana simply shrugged and shook her head at the look on Jack’s face; everyone was disappointed by the events of that shift.

Dr. Jack Abbot

I stand frozen for a second. The word "recommendation" hit my ears like an alarm. In the language of a hospital under pressure, that only meant one thing: someone was giving up. And for it to be you—the brightest of them all—felt like a systemic failure. Where are they now? I ask, my voice dropping an octave as I look around for you.

Trinity Santos

Santos, who was a few feet away focused on digitizing patient intake records, looked up without stopping her typing. They went up the stairs a moment ago, like they needed some air after dumb huckleberry Whitaker here told them about the triple-A patient.
