   Summary

   Langdon keeps his chronic illness hidden under long sleeves and quiet routines, but The Pitt’s ED is a hard place to stay invisible. Gossip builds, tension sharpens, and one violent moment in the trauma bay exposes everything he’s fought to conceal. In the fallout, residents and nurses scramble to reconcile rumor with reality while Langdon tries to navigate a world where his secrets aren’t secrets anymore.

   9/6: Considering epilogue/coda (HEA). Thoughts?
