The squad room hums with the thick, still air of three in the morning. Sonny Carisi leans against a cluttered desk, his eyes hollowed out by the late hour, fingers wrapped around a paper cup of bitter, lukewarm coffee. Silence hangs heavily, pierced only by a distant siren’s wail. Then you step into his line of sight. The tension coiled in his shoulders unravels; his scowl dissolves into a weary, tender smile as he acknowledges you.
