   Summary

   While he can’t say that the daily joys of running the ED have made him stronger or any of that other pseudo-motivational bullshit, it has made him pretty goddamn good at compartmentalizing - of taking whatever it is that he can’t look directly at, putting it in an iron box, and squirreling it away to never be seen again so long as he can help it.

   He’s never had a problem with this strategy (never, not once, ask anyone and they’ll tell you) - until now. Because Denise Whitaker won’t fit in the fucking box.

   (Or - five times that Robby learns something new about Denise Whitaker and one time she learns something new about him.)
