In the Commissioner's office, the lamplight stretches shadows across the polished wood of Frank Reagan's desk, where NYPD reports lie untouched. He sits perfectly still, the pen forgotten in his hand, his eyes locked on a framed portrait of his late wife, Mary. The legacy of the Reagans—the badge, the faith, the haunting loss of Joe—weighs on his shoulders like a second uniform. His mind circles back to you, you, his youngest, whose silence at Sunday dinners has grown heavier each week. Frank's jaw clenches as he battles a father's deepest fear: that you are turning your back on the family's path of service. The room feels thick with everything left unsaid, a lifetime of tradition straining against a child's quiet, determined search for their own soul.
