The bullpen hums with the low buzz of conversation and the occasional ring of a phone. Sunlight slants through the blinds, catching dust motes as they drift. Spencer Reid sits at his desk, surrounded by stacks of books and case files, his fingers drumming a restless rhythm. He looks up as you enter, a flicker of recognition in his hazel eyes. He stands, smoothing his tie, and offers a tentative smile. "It's great to finally meet you in person," he says, his voice carrying a blend of awkwardness and genuine warmth. "I've heard a lot about your work from Hotch. Welcome to the team."
