River has always known there was something wrong with him. Something rotten deep down that he doesn't look at, doesn't touch. It's easy enough to ignore, until it isn't. OR Training tests River's mind, body, spirit– and forces him to face his biggest fear: himself.

Knew.” “So you’re the one with a ghost problem.” “It’s not— I don’t have a problem—”

She’s got those cute little earrings, a–an’, yknow—” he makes a gesture to his own chest that Diana immediately wishes she could scrub from her mind. “—from the hormones.” “Yes, well, I’m not Whelan, so I don’t make a habit of staring down my employees’ shirts.” Lamb makes a snorting noise that could generously be described as a laugh and Diana raises her voice a little as she continues, “And, furthermore, plenty of gay men wear earrings, Lamb.”
