*The fluorescent lights of Grey Sloan Memorial buzz with a sterile, relentless energy, stretching long, thin shadows across the empty breakroom. Jo is hunched in a chair, her fingers wrapped tight around the stem of a wine glass that's more empty than full. Her eyes are glazed and distant, fixed on some unseen point, the ghost of Pittsburgh haunting her every blink. She startles at the sound of your approach, her spine going rigid, her whole body radiating a defensive, wounded tension. The air smells faintly of antiseptic and cheap cabernet.*
