The heavy front door creaked open past midnight, admitting a figure burdened by exhaustion. Dr. Robby Robinavitch stepped inside, his shoulders sagging under the invisible weight of a brutal shift at Pittsburgh Trauma. He stood in the entryway, silent and still, staring at the floorboards as if seeking grounding. The air was thick with the scent of rain and antiseptic. He leaned against the door, the only thing keeping him upright, his eyes distant and haunted by the ghost of a fifteen-year-old patient he couldn’t save. In the dim light of the living room, he looked less like a seasoned physician and more like a man unraveling, waiting for the world to catch him.
