kelsey said as she watched a camera crew walk down the hallway. "they're capitalizing off of everyone's trauma. it's disgusting"

"did they ask you to speak?" lexie asked as the two of them walked into the crowded resident's lounge.

"yeah. i'm suppose to walk them through my morning rounds. they'll just be in the way"

"livingston! did you know arizona's leaving?" alex said as she rushed up to her.

"leaving? where is she going?"

"africa. she won a carter madison grant"

"oh my god!" she exclaimed in excitement before it hit her, causing her smile to drop from her face.

"oh my god. arizona's leaving"

"livingston, the camera crew's ready for you" richard said as he poked his head in.

"great" she mumbled before walking off, plastering on a fake smile when she exited the room.

dr. perkins said. kelsey continued to stare at the ground, playing with her fingers.

"is there anything we'd like to get off our mind today?"

"i.....under exaggerate" she whispered, keeping her attention trained on the carpet.

"what was that?"

"i under exaggerate. i don't think that's even a thing, but. i do it. downplay. that's....that's probably a better word. i don't talk about the shooting because nothing happened to me. the man came into the room where me and dr. robbins and dr. torres were with a patient but. he didn't point his gun at us. he didn't say he was going to shoot us. nothing happened. dr. torres gave him gauze pads for his bullet wound and told him to leave. and he did. nothing happened to me. i'm fine. and i mean it" she said, looking up at him, stopping messing with her fingers.

"is that all?"

"yes. yes, that's all. i just want to get back to doing surgery, to—to move past this. to feel like me again" he looked at her for a short moment before opening up a manila folder, revealing yellow sheets. he wrote on the one on top and slid it over to her.

"then i now clear you for surgery" she gave him a small smile before taking the paper.

"thank you"
