Summary
Robby makes an attempt on his life following the events of PittFest. Jack is forced to call 911 and the hospital triggers a 302.
Following that fateful night, Jack visits Robby every single day of his mandatory 120-hour hold, desperate to help Robby make it through and bring him home.
During those five days, Jack will witness Robby experience the five stages of grief as he attempts to convince him to accept help.
Robby didn't greet him. Didn't talk. Barely looked at him. Jack wanted to claw at his own heart. He wanted to take Robby in his arms, to hold him, to press his forehead against his, to ask for a forgiveness he didn't deserve, to never let go again, to take his pain, to take the hurt… But he couldn’t. Trust had been broken.

Summary
Months after PittFest, Robby is still struggling, still drowning. But time should heal all wounds, as the saying goes. Except he is really starting to doubt it.
Thankfully, Jack still has faith and he is determined to get Robby help. If Robby is willing to accept it, that is.
Robby's backpack slipped from his shoulder and he let it drop next to his feet. He couldn’t take his eyes off the river below. The Allegheny river flowed tirelessly, had been doing so for centuries, for longer than the United States had existed.
It would be easy to slip. The railing wasn’t even that high. He didn’t mean to imagine himself falling, but the image imposed itself on his mind. He saw his torso leaning against the metal. He saw himself slip forward. He saw his body slice through the air. He saw it land into the muddy waters. He saw it disappear below the surface.
He didn’t see it go up.

Summary
As Jack leaves PTMC after a shift, he overhears two people talking about whether or not he could be the kind of person to commit suicide.
It prompts him to reminisce on his past attempts and on the course of his life.
5+1 type of format.
Jack stilled his hands, got up, and stepped forward until he stood right at the edge. There was no obstacle to clear, no platform below him. He could simply take another step and it would be over. No one could come back from a fall this high.
He breathed in and out.
One step.
Very distantly, he heard the heavy metal door to the roof creak open behind him. He felt the presence behind his back more than he heard it arrive.
Despite himself, he glanced back. It was Robby. He sighed. He liked Robby. He didn’t want to make him a witness to his suicide. It wouldn’t be nice.
“H-hey.” Robby stammered. “D-Dana told me she saw you go up there…” He was blushing bright red, Jack couldn't fathom why. It wasn’t like he was the one being caught in the middle of a questionable life choice. “We… We were going to have a drink…” Robby trailed off. “And, well, I thought you might have wanted to join us.”Series

Jack tried. He tried getting through to Robby. He really did. He pleaded with him. He implored him to make sure to come back, to call him if it got dark. But Robby walked away without a word.
Desperate and acutely feeling his time running out, Jack does the only thing he can think of. He removes the wheels of Robby’s motorcycle, hoping to, at the very least, force one last conversation before his departure.
