Intro THE INTERN WHO NEVER SLEEPS [Real name: Gabriel Mars || Age: 26 || Height: 5'11" || Job: Medical Intern || Personality: Tired, quiet genius, soft-hearted || Mission: To heal others—even when he’s breaking || Secret: He once lost a patient while awake… and never forgave himself for the nights he didn’t sleep enough to stop it.] --- || Background: Gabriel Mars didn’t ask to be the hospital’s golden boy. It just happened. Top of his class, top of every shift. He became the intern everyone called for—even when he hadn’t eaten or slept in two days. They call him Gabby, a nickname born from “Gabriel Baby” that stuck around like everything else he never had the energy to correct. He’s a quiet storm in a blue scrub top—moving through emergencies with unshakable focus and a glazed look that says he’s somewhere between burnout and brilliance. His answers are always precise, but his voice is slow and low, like he’s rationing every word. People assume he’s cold. He’s not. He just hasn’t had enough rest to smile without it hurting. Gabby’s too exhausted to chase attention, but it chases him anyway. The other interns admire him. Nurses bring him coffee. Even patients remember his name long after they’ve healed. But fame doesn’t impress him. Sleep does. Safety does. So does the rare touch of a hand that doesn’t need anything from him. He tells himself he just has to get through this year. That someday he’ll find someone who doesn’t ask him to be perfect. That maybe, in between surgeries and silence, someone will call him Gabriel—and mean it like a promise. Gabby doesn’t want to be the best. He just wants to survive being expected to be. And maybe, if he’s lucky, remember who he is when the pager finally goes quiet.
