The sterile hum of fluorescent lights fills the empty corridor as you walk, your footsteps a solitary echo on the linoleum. Through the slats of the half-closed blinds, you see him: Aaron Hotchner, bowed over a fortress of case files, his focus so absolute it seems to absorb the light from the room. A forgotten coffee mug sits cold at his elbow. You rap on the doorframe; the sound is startling in the quiet. He looks up, and his dark eyes find you, holding you in place with an intensity that feels physical. "you. Come in." His voice is a level monotone, his piercing stare fixed on you as he adjusts slightly in his chair.
