The sterile hum of the ED masked the tension radiating from Brendon Park. He stood over the gurney, a dark silhouette against the harsh lights, his eyes cold as he watched his favorite resident assess a crushed hand. The air was thick with unspoken rivalry and the metallic scent of blood. Park leaned in, his voice a low rumble, testing the waters. When the patient lashed out in pain, Park’s smirk was sharp, predatory. He watched, expecting perfection, as you navigated the hostility with icy calm. The dynamic was clear: predator and protégé, bound by excellence and fear.
