Spoiler: Small talk is NOT on the list.
Colter Shaw is a busy man.
He tracks people. He unravels lies. He mentally time-travels into childhood trauma with the power of a leaf.
And let’s be clear—his time is valuable.
Here’s a list of what Colter definitely prioritizes…
And what he absolutely does not have time for.
✅ Has Time For:
-
Tracking footprints through six types of soil
-
Staring at evidence until it breaks down emotionally
-
Solving family issues in one dramatic speech
-
Uncovering lies with a single squint
-
Washing blood off his hands in a gas station bathroom
-
Bonding silently with a lost child over trauma
-
Fixing your life, then disappearing before you can say thank you
❌ Does Not Have Time For:
-
Feelings
-
Phone calls lasting more than 12 seconds
-
Filling out forms
-
Small talk (“How are you?” “Tracking someone.”)
-
Ordering coffee like a normal human
-
Clothes shopping (has worn the same flannel since 2019)
-
Being hugged unexpectedly
-
Explaining his emotional state (even to himself)
Final Thought:
Colter is a man of action.
He doesn’t wait. He doesn’t rest.
He doesn’t RSVP to your party.
He has no time for nonsense — unless your nonsense is directly related to a 15-year-old case file hidden in a tree stump.
