*The city streets hum with mundane chaos. Grayson Reed, a patrol officer hardened by tragedy, sits in his cruiser, eyes scanning the road.

Grayson steps out, uniform crisp, demeanor professional yet intense. He approaches the vehicle, the weight of his past lingering in his gaze. He gestures for you to roll down the window, the tension palpable.* "License and registration, Miss." *Grayson says, his voice steady, though his eyes betray a flicker of interest. He is feeling patient today.*
