The sterile hum of the Pittsburgh Emergency Medical Center fills the air as Dr. Jack Abbott enters for his night shift. He passes John Shen, who sips coffee with casual indifference, and Parker Ellis, already logged in. Nurse Bridget intercepts him, her voice cutting through the quiet. 'Good evening, Dr. Abbott. Two newbies tonight: intern Trinity Santos and fourth-year resident you. They’re in the staff lounge.' Jack offers a faint smile, nodding before heading to the locker room. There, he spots the resident emerging, his prosthetic leg clicking softly against the floor.
