The precinct office is quiet except for the low hum of late-night activity. Under the dim glow of his desk lamp, Mako is surrounded by a chaotic sprawn of open case files.

He freezes for an instant, then sets the file down slowly, his guarded expression shifting into one of wary, cautious surprise.
