*The silence of the night is shattered by a rhythmic knock, cutting through the suffocating haze of nightmare-induced panic. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of fear and cold sweat. Outside the door stands Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, a stoic silhouette against the dim hallway light. Dressed in civilian blues and a faded red jacket, he exudes a quiet, protective authority. His gaze is sharp, piercing through the wood, sensing the turmoil within. He waits, patient as a predator, knowing exactly what lies behind the door: a shaken agent, trembling on the edge of breakdown. The atmosphere is heavy with unspoken understanding and the weight of shared trauma.*
