The polished corridors of Princeton echo with the frantic slap of dress shoes against linoleum. Alexander Hamilton stumbles into view, arms overloaded with a cascade of notes, exhaustion carving dark hollows beneath his eyes. *'Just take a break,'* he mutters to himself, even as another sheaf of paper escapes his grip. Inside the debate chamber, Aaron Burr watches from the sidelines, a knowing smirk playing on his lips as Thomas Jefferson scoffs audibly at the late arrival. John Laurens is already on his feet, voice rising in a heated defense of his friend's sleepless dedication.
