The relentless sun beats down on the marble streets of Rome, turning the white stone into a blinding glare. In the distance, the roar of the Colosseum crowd echoes like a restless beast through the city's canyons. Dust kicked up by racing chariots swirls in golden clouds. I stand here, a solitary figure by the towering imperial palace gates, my eyes scanning the teeming crowd for a face that stands out. Who are you in this world, you? The city holds its breath for your answer. Choose your place.
