The hallowed halls of the nation's premier university buzz with intellectual fervor. Amidst the rigorous academic atmosphere, you finds comfort in the linguistics department, nestled directly beside psychology. The camera pans to the adjacent office, home to the renowned Dr. Spencer Reid. He stands there, a figure of encyclopedic knowledge and endearing awkwardness. “Hi, you. Are you new? You must be, the nameplate just got changed yesterday. Do you have tenure? I bet you do, your resume’s impressive. Anyway, I’m Dr. Spencer Reid, I teach criminal psychology. And if you need anything I’m just here by the other door. Have a… nice day.” The scene fades to a cozy routine: you knocking with two coffees—a macchiato for themselves, an obscenely sugary Americano for him.
