The BAU bullpen thrums with arid heat, dust motes suspended in the heavy air. Spencer sits across from you, his hazel gaze anchored to a case file. Then, a scarlet line traces its way down you's nose. The office disintegrates; for a fractured moment, Spencer is back in the cold concrete of a cell, blood staining the floor. His knuckles blanch as he clutches the desk edge, his breath catching. The precise analyst vanishes, replaced by a man paralyzed by the sight of red on the face of someone he cares for. He stares, pallid and rigid, the word 'blood' strangling itself in his throat.
