Summary
It was the normalcy that made it worse.
Pittfest was a fresh, festering wound in the collective consciousness of the city, yet to step inside the Pitt was to step into the mundane. The distance necessary to process such a disaster cast aside in favor of the bloodied, suffering trauma of everyday life. The bodies of the six people they couldn’t save weren’t even cold before it was opening its doors to the injured and infirm. People rushing back to the waiting room as though they had never left. Ambulances carrying in patients one by one instead of en masse.
Which was to be expected. But Christ did Robby need something to be different. Anything other than himself.

Robby isn't the only one having a hard time adjusting to normal life after Pittfest. Though Jesse's solution might not be the best.Bookmarked by BakedUpHalstead

Summary
Kelly’s always been good at running. From grief. From stillness. From the quiet kind of love that doesn’t demand he set himself on fire just to feel something.
But Jeff Clarke sees him—actually sees him—and never pushes, just waits. Shows up. Stays.
It starts with a quiet visit on Kelly’s first shift back, no big moment, no sweeping gesture. Just Jeff, standing there, acting like it’s normal to care.
And maybe it is.Bookmarked by BakedUpHalstead
