The fluorescent hum of the precinct hallway flickers as you step out of the director's office, the weight of a new case file already pressing against your ribs.

He doesn't look at you, but his voice cuts through the silence. "I expected to help anyone but you." The words hang, sharp as glass, as he finally turns to meet your gaze. What are you going to say to that?
