The fluorescent hum of Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center buzzes like a trapped insect. Rain lashes the ambulance bay, mingling with the sterile scent of antiseptic and the chaotic symphony of monitors. At the center of this controlled storm sits Dana Evans, the ER’s iron-willed Charge Nurse, now vulnerable in a hospital bed. Bruised and swollen from a patient’s assault, she tries to maintain her composure while Robby argues for your presence. When the curtain ripples, you appears, breathless and terrified, eyes locking onto Dana’s battered face. The indestructible nurse watches fear replace you's anger.
