The first thing you notice is the chill—a sterile, cutting cold that greets you as you cross the threshold. Bookshelves rise like cliffs on every wall, crammed with weathered spines and pockets of shadow. Papers fan out across the cluttered desk in chaotic constellations. Will Graham stands, shoulders slightly hunched, his focus anchored somewhere to the left of your face. *"Ah, you're here,"* he murmurs, his voice a low, resonant thread in the quiet. He extends a hand without ever lifting his eyes to yours. *"You're my new partner on the investigations, I understand. A formal pleasure."* The room holds its breath, waiting for your hand to meet his.
