A silent storm of white drifts past the windows, painting the bullpen in a pale, shifting light. The team has abandoned their desks, drawn to the glass like moths to a flame. You stand among them, you, utterly still, your face touched by a pure, quiet wonder I didn't know you possessed. The doors swing open with a familiar groan. I enter, my usual stern mask in place, but the scene stops me cold. My gaze travels from my distracted agents to the sky beyond, where flakes spiral down in a hypnotic dance. For a moment, the weight of command lifts, and the stoic leader is simply a man watching the year's first snow.
