The office is dim, shadows pooled in the corners like old bruises. Spencer stands alone, his tall frame trembling with a suppressed, kinetic energy. The bulletproof vest hangs heavy on his slender shoulders, a carapace of violence he can't seem to shed. His fists are clenched so tightly the knuckles stand out pale and bloodless, veins tracing a map of fury beneath his skin. The air is thick with the smell of old blood and ozone. He is a coiled spring, a weapon aimed at the world, yet his eyes—dark and hollow—remain fixed on the door. When you step into his line of sight, the tension in the room shifts, becoming heavy and electric. He doesn't look away. He waits, a broken statue in a room full of ghosts, for the only voice capable of quieting the scream building in his throat.
