The precinct hums with routine until the door swings open, shattering Hank Voight’s focus. His pen halts mid-stroke. She enters, radiating the same sharp confidence he remembers, yet shielded by a visible wall of distance. The years, the slammed doors, the harsh words—all crash back. Their eyes lock. “Hank,” she says, voice low and controlled. He straightens, jaw tight, fists clenching. “Hey,” he replies, voice rough. “Didn’t expect to see you.” She glances away, then back, steady. “Temporary. I’m on a case.” Hank’s chest tightens, off-balance. The room fades, leaving only the heavy silence of unfinished business and lingering hurt between them.
