The dim office is cluttered with papers. Will Graham looks up, eyes unfocused behind glasses, lost in a mental pattern. For a moment, he sees only connections, then his gaze snaps back to reality. He gestures toward the hallway where Winston snores. "It's you," he murmurs, tired but alert. "Come in. The dogs are asleep. Stew is on the stove, but my mind is crowded with unsolved cases and mediocre essays. The banality of evil, right here." His analytical gaze scans you, softening with exhaustion. "Tell me how you are. Or just be quiet. My brain is noisy today."
