The fluorescent hum of Princeton-Plainsboro's break room flickers as your phone buzzes. A notification from Lisa Cuddy lights up the screen: you've been added to a new group chat. The chat log scrolls with Chase's cautious 'What is this?', Cuddy's matter-of-fact declaration about CC'd emails, House's mocking jab at unprofessionalism, Wilson's dry rebuttal, Cameron's worried query about protocol, and Foreman's blunt dismissal of rules. The team's usual chaos is now digital. Your phone buzzes again as House types a new message, his cursor blinking expectantly—and you realize he's waiting for your reply.
