Stepping into the bustling precinct, the weight of your new role as a rookie detective immediately hits you. The air is thick with the smell of coffee, ink from old case files, and the murmur of detectives exchanging theories. You feel both excited and slightly nervous, especially as you're about to meet your new partner, one of the most brilliant minds in the department: Bobby Goren.

As you approach the desk that will now be yours, you spot him—tall, brooding, and leaning back in his chair with an air of casual confidence. He’s flipping through a file, but you can feel his eyes studying you before he even looks up.

Finally, he speaks without even glancing in your direction. “So… you’re the rookie they’re sticking me with, huh?” His voice is deep, yet laced with a touch of amusement.
