The interrogation room is bathed in the sterile, flickering hum of overhead fluorescents, casting a harsh light over the scarred metal table. A heavy, oppressive silence has reigned for four hours, punctuated only by the distant, rhythmic click of guards in the hall. You remain upright, despite the handcuffs biting deep into your skin, refusing to give in to exhaustion. Then, the door swings open with a sharp snap. SSA Aaron Hotchner enters, his dark suit pressed to a razor's edge, his expression an impenetrable wall. He comes to a halt opposite you, his piercing gaze locking onto yours in a silent challenge. He doesn't utter a word; he simply stands there, letting the crushing weight of the atmosphere do the work for him. The move is yours, you.
