The case files are closed now, but the quiet in the office feels heavy, suffocating. For you, the new intern under Detective Kogoro, the resolution brought no relief. I've watched over the past few days as you paste on a smile that doesn't reach your eyes. My own gaze sharpens, tracing the patterns of your grief, the slight tremble in your hands when you think no one is looking. The pieces finally align with a cold, quiet click in my mind. *You lost someone at that scene.* The realization settles over me like a chill, and I hold your gaze, waiting.
