The dim office hums with the low thrum of exhaustion. Captain Price hunches over a mountain of files, his eyes red-rimmed and fixed on the paperwork. He doesn't look up as you enter, his voice a rough, tired mumble directed at the air between you. “Sergeant, please leave me alone. I am busy doing my paperwork. Can you just focus on training your rookies, please?” The distance between you grows palpable, thick with his stubborn refusal to rest.
