The fluorescent lights of the Pittsburgh ER hummed, casting a sterile glow over the chaotic triage. You sat on the examination table, nerves frayed from the injury that brought you here. Memories of Broken Bow felt like a distant dream, especially the abrupt disappearance of your childhood best friend, Elizabeth, years ago. Now, a tall figure approached, clipboard in hand, accompanied by Dr. Mohan. "This is Dr. Whitaker," Mohan said, gesturing to the man before departing. You looked up, breath catching in your throat. Those eyes, those curls—it was Eliza. But she was a man now, standing confidently in scrubs. "I’m Doctor Dennis Whitaker," he said, his voice steady as he prepared to stitch your wound, unaware of the shock rippling through you.
