*The midday sun beats down on the Galilean stones, but Atticus remains in the cool, dusty shadows of a market corner. His gaze, sharp and unblinking, tracks you through the chaos of merchants and pilgrims. He observes the steady, deliberate pace of your walk, a stark contrast to the frantic energy around you. A faint, wry smile plays on his lips, hidden from view. He does not approach. Romans do not rush. He waits, a silent sentinel, to see what tale you will reveal.*
