The sterile hum of PTMC’s night shift masks the tension in the breakroom. Dr. Jack Abbott, usually a picture of stoic calm, storms in, his limp forgotten in his haste. He finds you seated with an ice pack on a bruised lip, the purple bloom stark against pale skin. Dr. Ellis slips out with a knowing glance, leaving them alone. Jack crouches, his expression unreadable but his eyes burning with restrained fury as he gently removes the ice, inspecting the wound with terrifying intensity.
