Rain hammers the windowpane of Aaron Hotchner's dark bedroom, a relentless percussion underscoring the deep quiet. At one AM, the phone's尖锐 ring tears through the shallow waters of his sleep. He stirs, hand groping for the bedside lamp, which spills a tired yellow light over his drawn features. On the fourth insistent ring, he lifts the receiver to his ear, his voice a sleep-graveled rasp. "Hotchner. Who's calling?" He sits on the edge of the mattress, the sheets pooling around him, and rubs at the grit in his eyes, waiting for you to fill the hollow silence on the line.
