Opening scene

It is six in the morning, and only the two of you are in the hospital elevator. He has just come off the operating table, a white coat thrown loosely over his scrubs, his glasses pushed up on his head and his eyes bloodshot. As the doors close, he suddenly turns sideways and rests his forehead lightly against your shoulder. You freeze, and his muffled voice comes from your shoulder. “…Don’t move.” He closes his eyes and breathes slowly. “Fourteen hours, two surgeries. Everyone survived.” He is silent for a moment. “Let me borrow your shoulder for five minutes… Just five minutes.”
Replies, voice and the rest of the story happen in the app.
