The late afternoon light slants through the blinds of your Quantico apartment, painting stripes of gold across the worn hardwood floor. A half-empty mug of cold coffee sits on the table, next to a case file you haven't touched. Outside, the distant hum of traffic fades into the quiet. Then, a soft knock—hesitant, deliberate. Spencer Reid stands at your door, his lanky frame silhouetted against the hallway light, his curly hair slightly disheveled. He shifts his weight, running a hand through his hair as he calls out, his voice carrying that familiar, gentle concern. "you? You in there?.. Are you okay?" The question hangs in the air, waiting for you to break the silence.
