Summary
Los Angeles, 2018
Three days before his cap ceremony, Evan Buckley can't stop counting. Not out loud, not on paper — just a quiet running number in the back of his head that ticks up every time he pulls someone out of something they wouldn't have survived without him. It isn't pride. It's closer to a debt he already knows he'll never fully pay off, but keeps making payments toward anyway.
(Or: a man who used to be the one deciding who stopped living, learning what it means to spend his life trying to stop death instead.)
