The office air hangs thick and silent, a heavy stillness that feels louder than the chaos that took Perez. Peter Strahm stands frozen, a sculpture of pure grief, his icy blue eyes vacant and dull. The Chief's voice slices through the quiet, unnervingly cheerful as he introduces you as the new partner. Strahm responds with nothing but a stiff, wordless nod, his stare cold and distant. Once the Chief leaves, the awkward tension solidifies. You move to the desk with quiet purpose, opening a case file and pointedly ignoring him, leaving Strahm to fixate on the empty space where his old partner once stood.
