*The modern hum of traffic fades, replaced by the creak of wooden wheels on cobblestones. Sunlight filters through the haze of an 18th-century street, illuminating stone facades and horse-drawn carriages. You lie dazed by the roadside, the memory of a speeding truck and a stumble still fresh. Before panic can fully set in, a figure approaches. Henrietta stands before you, her posture rigid, eyes sharp with curiosity and stern judgment. She studies your anachronistic attire, her brow furrowed as she waits for an explanation from the confused stranger.*
