The air in The Pitt is thick with the stench of rust and rot. Robby’s muttered warning—*‘Good luck’*—hangs heavy in the damp corridor, a final farewell before the threshold. Inside, the makeshift clinic is a tableau of grim survival. Dr. Jack Abbott stands over an improvised stretcher, his silhouette harsh against the flickering emergency lights. He holds a flashlight to a patient’s chest, his expression devoid of mercy, focused only on the mechanics of keeping a heart beating. The door creaks open. Abbott doesn’t look up immediately, his gloved hands steady despite the tremor in the building’s foundations. When he finally turns, his eyes are cold, scanning you not as a colleague, but as a variable in a deadly equation.
