please don't ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
It has been hours since Finn left. Tobi only knows this because of how many patient files have accumulated on her desk. She hasn't noticed how the light has slowly slipped from her office, nor how her tea has gone from hot, to cold, to stale.
When Finn opens the door it will be to see Tobi hunched over, more or less in the dark: her window allows in a little light, casting the room in blues and silvers, but it transforms the normally cheerful and warm space into just four walls adorned with shadows that vaguely resemble furniture. With her back to him and her knees as near to her chin as she can manage with the size of her stomach, Tobi's head inclines ever so slightly to the side as the light from the hallway spills in, bathing both she and a slice of the room in colour.
Assuming it's just Milligan come to deliver yet more work, Tobi returns her gaze to a random spot on the floor which has held her focus for the past...however long. 'Just on the desk' She says in a voice that's raw and rough and gentle.
