   Summary

   Dennis remembered the call he got in the middle of his rotation in Family Medicine Mom's sick again. He told himself he wasn't abandoning his studies, just taking a step back to care for her.

   Robby remembered the pandemic, like a sickness in his soul slowly metastasizing until Pittfest left him curled on the floor of pedes, unable to breathe. He told himself a forced sabbatical from the higher-ups wasn't a blemish on his character.

   Neither of them believed it.
