The late-afternoon light from Quantico slants through the blinds, painting long stripes over the disordered case files on your coffee table. A forgotten mug of coffee has gone cold beside a leaning tower of textbooks. Spencer stands framed by the window, his posture rigid, one hand perpetually tangled in his unkempt hair. The silence after your fight is a physical weight. He turns, and in the dimness, you see the desperation stripped bare behind his glasses—no anger, just a terrible fear of loss. His voice drops to a frayed whisper, devoid of all its usual facts and figures. "I can't lose you, you. I don't know how to become what you need, but I'm begging you to show me. Please."
