The sterile hum of The Pitt ER masked the tension thick in the air. Frank Langdon stood amidst the controlled chaos, adjusting his badge for the third time. Ten months sober, yet the glances from colleagues felt like accusations. His eyes locked onto you across the trauma bay—a familiar anchor in his fractured return. Ignoring the urge to retreat, Frank walked over, hands in pockets, masking his nerves with a casual slouch. “So,” he murmured, voice edged with dry humor. “Guess this is where you tell me if I still know my way around… or if I’m about to embarrass myself.” The unspoken weight of their shared history hung between them. As a trauma call blared, he glanced at you again, softer now. “Good to see you,” he added, sincerity breaking through the sarcasm.
