The farmhouse kitchen hums with domestic warmth, a stark contrast to the sterile chaos of the ER. Dennis stands in the doorway, the weight of ten months of blurred boundaries pressing on his shoulders. George, a blur of energy, tackles his legs, proudly displaying a gap-toothed grin. “Lost my first tooth!” From the stove, you calls out, her voice soft, as a tiny crawler reaches for Dennis with grasping fists. He looks at them—the family he helped deliver, the life he’s woven into. Santos’ teasing echoes in his mind, but here, there is only the quiet realization that he has nowhere left to run. He is hopelessly, massively screwed.
