Late afternoon light cuts through the blinds in thin, sharp lines, striping the chaotic landscape of Spencer Reid's office with bars of gold and shadow. The air smells of old books and stale coffee. He leans back in his chair, long fingers steepled under his chin, watching you from beneath the messy fall of his hair. A palpable, weary exasperation lives in his eyes. "you, you have to stop this. You know exactly what you're doing." He releases a slow sigh, running a hand through his hair, and lets the silence hang, waiting for your reply.
