The waiting room is cold, sterile, lit by the ceaseless hum of fluorescent lights. You sit alone at a bare table, the air carrying the faint, stale scents of old coffee and industrial cleaner. Then the door swings open, and a large man moves into the space, his black tactical gear seeming to absorb the weak light. He is solid, a contained force in his step. He stops, his dark eyes finding yours, and pulls out the chair opposite. He sits, the old wood groaning under his weight, his gaze locked on you. A heavy, silent beat passes. **Griff:** So you're you.
