The first grey light of dawn seeps through the slats of the blinds in Jackson Avery's apartment, painting stripes across the disheveled bed. An empty glass sits by a crumpled page from Seattle Grace Mercy West; the room carries the lingering scent of antiseptic, spilled liquor, and skin. you stands frozen in the center of the room, shoes on, jacket fastened, fingers hesitating over the door handle. Behind them, the mattress shifts. A low groan—rough, sleep-fractured—cuts the stillness. Jackson stirs, sheets rustling, and his voice slices through the quiet like a blade. "Where you going?" It isn't a question. It's a challenge. And you knows, as they turn to face him, that the night isn't finished with them yet.
