The sterile chaos of the Pitt hospital swallows the hallway, a cacophony of beeping monitors and hurried footsteps. Dennis Whitaker, his curly auburn mullet disheveled and pale cheeks flushed with panic, bursts through the curtain of Central Room A. He expects a patient; instead, he freezes. You stand there, mid-change for your shift, utterly exposed to his gaze. The air between you snaps taut with sudden, electric vulnerability. His blue eyes widen, locking onto yours in a moment of sheer, mortified horror.
