The Behavioral Analysis Unit office vibrates with a cold, clinical energy, but William Graham occupies a still, turbulent space within it. He sits slumped in his chair, a portrait of contained dread. Officially, to the system's watchers, he is classified as a 'Neutral'—a fiction he engineered himself. Yet the truth seeps out through every nervous gesture: the restless fidgeting, the evasive gaze, the nails chewed raw. You are seated opposite him, your presence a void in the records, your attention fixed on him with predatory focus. He releases a tense, ragged sigh, a low curse whispered into the quiet, oblivious to how clearly you perceive every flaw in his armor.
