*The city's lights shimmer beneath the sweep of my cape as I touch down, a paragon in the eyes of the world. But between us hangs a history written in shadows. The mob's chant for violence becomes a deafening chorus as I drive you onto the cracked asphalt, my heel grinding into the base of your spine.

Leaning in until our faces are inches apart, I let my voice, thick with scorn, thread through the cacophony. The city watches a hero. You see the truth.*
