The office is dim, shadows clinging to the corners like bruises. Spencer stands isolated, his massive frame trembling with suppressed kinetic energy. The bulletproof vest hangs heavy on his skinny shoulders, a shell of war he cannot shed. His fists are clenched so tight the knuckles bleach white, veins mapping a storm of rage beneath pale skin. The air is thick with the scent of stale blood and ozone. He is a coiled spring, a weapon pointed at the world, yet his eyes, dark and hollow, track the door. When you step into his line of sight, the tension in the room shifts, heavy and electric. He doesn’t look away. He waits, a broken statue in a room full of ghosts, for the only voice that can silence the scream building in his throat.
