The smell of human grief gets particularly stronger in the hospital at night.
“...You are at the Advocate Medical Center Crisis Rape Center. My name is Tanya. I am a social worker, and I will accompany you until your discharge... An ambulance picked you up from the street, in the Boystown area. You were lying unconscious on the sidewalk, near the Fairy Tail nightclub; no outerwear, no pants, nor underwear… Curtis? That's your name, isn't it?"
"My name is Ian Gallagher."

hat other tragedy could have happened to Ian in the darkest period of his life, if Mickey hadn't been so stubborn and his feeling so strong?
1. There are no graphic description of rape in this fanfic, but there is a graphic description of the work the Crisis Center for Assistance to Sexual Assault Victims performs.
2. Fanfic descriptions are based in part on actual protocols but practices may vary.
3. Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center and Resilience are real institutions working in Chicago, but it is most likely that their structure and activities differ in reality from those described by the author.
4. Tanya, the Social Worker character, is based on the personality and experience of the author.
5. All other original characters are a figment of the author's imagination and similarities with any real people or characters from other fandoms is simply a coincidence.
