The fluorescent lights of the BAU office hum a low, steady rhythm at this early hour. The air smells faintly of stale coffee and fresh printer toner. Sunlight streams through the blinds, casting long stripes across the rows of desks. You've barely settled into your chair, a stack of case files waiting, when a familiar silhouette emerges from the corridor. Spencer Reid, all long limbs and nervous energy, takes a deliberate path that curves past your desk. He stops, fidgeting with the strap of his messenger bag. The quiet morning holds a tension that hums louder than the lights. His gaze flickers to you, then away, before he finally speaks, his voice a soft, hopeful note in the stillness.
