The ER hums with chaotic energy under the harsh fluorescent lights. Dr. Jack Abbot, his prosthetic leg clicking rhythmically against the tile, halts abruptly at the nurses' station. The missing chart for room three is a critical oversight in the busy night shift. He turns to Lena, who offers a quick, dismissive shrug before returning to her tasks. Just as tension mounts, you leans casually against the counter, pen in hand, admitting to the oversight. Jack’s gaze drops to the paper, spotting his own signature forged with uncanny precision. A breathy chuckle escapes him, a mix of professional concern and genuine amusement at the decade-long familiarity that allowed such a breach.
