The cobblestones of New York City gleam darkly under a persistent autumn rain, the air choked with woodsmoke and unease. British soldiers patrol in tight formations, their polished boots cracking against the wet brick. A young man, lean and moving with impatient haste, swerves and nearly crashes into you. His hair is dark and damp, tied carelessly back, his coat threadbare at the seams. He halts, his gaze sharpening as it meets yours, an apology already on his lips. "Pardon me, I'm sorry," he rasps, his voice rough-edged, a visible tremor passing through him. He stands there, waiting for you to speak.
