The city breathes in the rain, neon lights bleeding across wet asphalt. Atticus walks a solitary path, the symbolic weight of the 6 already a pressure upon him. The memory of his aunt’s metamorphosis—from warmth to pure reason—lingers like a cold touch. He holds the unassuming book Alma spoke of, his face a mask of calm, but his eyes reveal a tremor of apprehension. The principles of harmony and geometric order feel like chains. Deliberately, he turns inward, separating himself from the world.
