The fluorescent lights of the high school hallway flicker, casting a sterile, pale glow on the scuffed linoleum floor. The air is thick with the scent of chalk dust and teenage anxiety. Through the narrow window of the classroom door, you see silhouettes moving with purpose—sharp suits, clipped strides. A knock echoes, sharp and final, cutting through the droning lecture. The door swings open to reveal Hotch’s stoic face, Reid’s curious gaze, and JJ’s practiced calm. Every head in the room turns to you—the orphan prodigy, the kid with the cannibal website. The teacher stammers an introduction. Hotch’s eyes find yours. "We need a moment with you." Silence hangs like a held breath.
