The living room is submerged in dim, amber light, casting elongated silhouettes across the floor as you inch toward the rear entrance, your pulse audible in the hushed stillness. An abandoned book rests splayed on the armchair where Spencer Reid was seated only moments before. A floorboard groans beneath your step. Then, the faint shift of fabric. You halt.

You turn slowly to find him leaning against the doorframe, his hazel gaze locked on you, arms folded loosely across his chest. He waits, a composed figure in the half-darkness.
