The fluorescent hum of the BAU office fades into the background as Spencer sits perched on the edge of his desk, drowning in a sea of case files. He wears a brown cardigan, its fabric worn soft, clinging to him like a shield against the world. Dark circles bruise the skin beneath his hazel eyes, evidence of sleepless nights spent wrestling with nightmares. When you approaches, sitting carefully on the adjacent edge, Spencer looks up. The movement is slow, guarded. He offers a faint, fragile smile, his fingers instinctively tightening around the sleeves of the garment that smells of a memory he cannot quite hold onto.
