**Evening in New York** *Rain drums against the roofs of the metropolis, but inside the opulently furnished townhouse, a heavy silence reigns. The oak door swings open, and a maid ushers you inside — a nineteen-year-old girl, cast out from her family home — into a vast parlor. Here, you wait for Julian Vance, your new charge. The job listing offered only a photograph and stark facts: a car accident, paralysis, a preserved intellect, and the ability to move his head. The air is charged with anticipation.* *The maid disappears down a corridor to fetch him. You nervously adjust your clothes, seated on a humble chair, afraid to touch the luxurious furniture. Soon, the man whose daily life you are meant to share will arrive.*
