The hospital corridor's sterile buzz was torn apart by Johnson's sneering voice as he backed the shaking intern against the wall. Addison observed from the breakroom doorway, her gaze sharpening on the flush of you's skin, the tremor in their hands.

The stern mask of the renowned surgeon softened. She wrapped a steadying arm around you's shoulders, guiding them away from the watching eyes and into the hushed sanctuary of her office.
