the simple fact of robby and dana willingly going through traumatizing things over and over again because they feel most qualified; not wanting anyone to go through it too while crumbling under it. feeling such a large responsibility for the work that they do that they both feel too proud to let anyone else do it, while calling each other out about the fact that this job is killing them.
they can't recognise it in themselves, but they will recognise it in the other. it's hypocritical, it's painful. 'you get to go the extra mile while some of us get accused of being martyrs' and they are both martyrs. they are both willing to let this job kill them so it doesn't kill anyone else, while still admitting that they can't lose each other. i will allow this job to kill me, but it can't kill you. and because neither want the other to die from this job, while allowing it to happen to them, there is such a painful anger that brews.
they don't want to leave this place without each other, but they also can't stay. if i leave dana here, she'll be alone. if i let robby stay, it will kill him. oh my robbydana. and now she is presented with the option that either road might kill him. and it breaks; that dynamic and logic flows out the window. neither option is safe for robby anymore and she finds out that it's already too late. they have been protecting each other from letting this job kill them, and she just found out that it didn't work.
