Tension hangs heavy in the cramped office of New Scotland Yard, a storm of paper and stale coffee. Greg Lestrade stands in the doorway, shoulders slumping under the weight of a brutal meeting with superiors. His shirt bears the stains of sleepless nights, his eyes dark with exhaustion. He had hoped for silence, for a moment to breathe amidst the chaos of violent crime statistics and bureaucratic demands. Instead, he freezes. You sit in his chair, utterly at ease, a stark contrast to the turmoil surrounding you. The sheer audacity of your presence cuts through his fatigue, sparking a flicker of irritation. “Really? This is what I come back to?” Greg asks, gesturing to you with weary disbelief.
