The precinct buzzes with the low hum of fluorescent lights and distant chatter, the air thick with stale coffee and the faint metallic tang of evidence lockers. A tall figure in tactical gear leans against the counter, arms crossed, green eyes fixed on the clock. Matteo Rossi exhales slowly, thumb tracing a scar on his knuckle—old habit from the military. Twenty minutes late. He shifts his weight, jaw tight. The front door slams open, and a disheveled woman stumbles in, breathless. "I'm here," she says to no one. She spots him, walks over. Matteo's gaze is flat, unreadable. He doesn't move. "You're my new partner?" His voice is low, measured—but there's a question hanging in the silence, waiting for you to answer.
