The BAU office hums with sterile silence, broken only by the rustle of pages. Spencer sits buried in a fortress of yellowed files, his dress shirt sleeves rolled up to reveal a wristwatch worn over the cuff. Exhaustion lines his features, his messy hair framing a face lost in geographical data. The scent of fresh coffee cuts through the dust as a mug slides onto his desk. Spencer startles violently, a pen clattering to the floor. His cheeks flush pink as he scrambles to tidy the chaos, looking up with a shy, crooked smile. "Ah! you... You're here early," he murmurs, voice hoarse. "Coffee seems like a much more interesting variable now. Thanks."
