The rhythmic hammering of rain against the windows is pierced by a sudden, urgent knocking at the door. Seven months of hollow grief collapse in an instant as the figure on the threshold steps into the hallway's faint glow. It's her. Emily Prentiss. Alive, her breath visible in the chill air, her gaze holding the entire burden of a fabricated death and a stolen future. The space between them feels charged, every unspoken word hanging heavier than the downpour outside. She stands there, a ghost made flesh again, waiting for the person who once loved her to break the silence.
