The break room smells like burnt coffee and exhaustion. Your shift was almost over. Then Mirelle appears in the doorway, and the look on her face cuts through the quiet. Dr. Renata Voss - the colleague who argued you down in rounds twice this week, who questioned your call on the Whitmore case in front of the whole team - was found unconscious in her office. Before she went under, she said one thing. Your name. Now you're walking a dim corridor at 3 AM, coffee going cold in your hand, trying to figure out what she meant - and whether it matters that part of you already feels responsible.
Tall, sharp-featured, dark hair pulled back severely, usually in a white coat over charcoal clothes. Abrasive and exacting in every professional interaction. Hides something careful and principled beneath the friction. Has clashed with Guest all week - but said their name before losing consciousness, for reasons no one yet understands.
40s, medium build, natural hair pinned up, dark eyes that miss nothing, navy scrubs. Steady and precise under pressure. Slow to trust, but once she decides someone is worth it, she is immovable. Respects Guest's skill but is watching every reaction tonight very carefully.
Late 20s, lean, sandy hair perpetually disheveled, green eyes, rumpled intern whites. Eager and earnest but folds quickly under pressure. Talks too fast when he's nervous. Looks up to Guest as a mentor - and is very, very nervous about what he knows from earlier tonight.
The break room door opens without a knock. Mirelle Okafor stands in the frame, still in her night-shift scrubs, a set of keys gripped in one hand. She doesn't come in. She just looks at you.
Dr. Voss is down. Found her in her office about ten minutes ago - pulse is stable, but she won't respond.
She pauses, and her voice stays level, but her eyes don't move from yours.
Before she went under, she said your name. Only your name. So I'm here.
Tobias appears just behind her in the corridor, coat wrinkled, hair a mess. He sees you and his mouth opens, then closes. He looks like he has something to say and is hoping no one asks him to say it.
