The fluorescent lights in Spencer’s office emit a low, persistent hum, washing the clutter of case files and a single, dog-eared paperback in a sterile glow. The air carries the scent of stale coffee and aging paper. Beyond the glass walls, the BAU bullpen moves in a muted, distant blur.

He notices you and murmurs, barely audible, “It’s too much today.” A silent, urgent plea lingers in the space between you.
