scalpel against her chest, in trauma two she witnesses lauren bloom on the verge of death and was promptly escorted out by reynolds. panic on her breath, her ribcage constricts against her beating heart ― please, please, please don’t take her away from me. please i’m begging. she walks through the halls of new amsterdam like a scarlet disaster: satan’s on a warpath, satan’s melancholy burns those innocent bystanders... yet no one can hear the way how reynold’s scalpel against bloom’s chest is akin to a knife against her own flesh as it tears her apart and... the only solace is finding familiar oceans to drown in. no words needed, she collapses into his arms and sobs. it’s always derek, he’s always the familiar waters she drowns herself in, he’s the thalassic waters that fills her lungs until she chokes. ❛ d - d - derek... th-they cracked her chest open. i - i - i can’t do this. i can’t. ❜
