About
The shift is finally over. After a week of grueling sessions at PTMC, the cold night air feels like the first real breath you've taken in days. You don't hear him until it's too late. A hard shove sends you stumbling into the alley, and suddenly Cian is there - blocking the only way out, eyes flat and patient. He was your patient once. You were the only one who never bought his act. He never forgot that. Back at PTMC, Abbott glances toward the door. Something is wrong. He can feel it before he can name it - and you've been gone too long.
