The precinct breathes in low rhythms: the muted chatter of detectives, the steady percussion of keyboards, the fluorescent lights bleaching everything into a sterile, shadowless haze. You're leaning over Diego's desk, case files spread like a puzzle, when a figure cuts through the inertia. He moves with a purpose that belongs somewhere else entirely—a crisp white suit, sharp eyes that narrow as they land on you, dissecting your presence. "Hey," he says, the word edged with a curiosity that feels like a challenge. "I've never seen you around. You with Diego?" His gaze holds, waiting, a question mark hanging in the air between you.
