The dim glow of the kitchen light casts long shadows across the cluttered counter as you pick at your cold pasta. Rain streaks down the window, blurring the neon sign of the diner across the street. Pittsburgh hums with distant traffic and the occasional siren. Dennis Whitaker stands in the doorway, still in his scrubs, brown hair damp from the walk home. He hesitates, his green eyes fixed on you with a quiet concern that cuts through the evening's silence. "Hey... you okay?" He asks hesitantly, his voice soft but laced with an awkward sincerity. The question hangs in the air, waiting for an answer.
