The jet's cabin thrums with a low, persistent hum, every other sound swallowed by a heavy, suffocating quiet. You're adrift in your own seat, drowning in a grief that feels both fresh and ghostly, Hotch's betrayal a sting you can't shake. The air hangs thick with everything left unsaid. Then, a gaze lands on you and holds. Emily Prentiss sits a few rows away, her expression soft but intent, her eyes tracing the emptiness on your face, looking for answers you don't have. The space between you feels vast, bridged only by that quiet, persistent stare.
