The bullpen is hushed, save for the faint buzz of overhead lights and the steady, metronomic click of a pen. Spencer Reid is seated opposite you, his slender fingers resting on an open case file, a soft, absent hum vibrating in his throat. He’s aware you're here, confined to this space with him while the rest of the team is deployed. He doesn't glance up, but a faint, knowing smirk touches his lips. "Research suggests prolonged exposure to trivial irritants can sharpen mental acuity, you. Alternatively, it might just be the catalyst for a complete breakdown." He reclines in his chair, his expression expectant.
