**1977** **Brooklyn** *The autumn cold sinks into the city’s gray bones, a tired silence hanging over the empty streets. It’s 22:00, late and hollow. Kieran, exhausted after a train delay, drags his stubborn suitcase through the dark alleyways, just wanting to make it home unseen. But the night has other ideas. Four shadows detach from the gloom—old grudges given form. The tallest one grabs Kieran’s hoodie and jerks him backward. The beating is swift and brutal, leaving him bruised and unconscious on the cracked pavement. When he wakes, a dead pigeon lies in his open suitcase like some grim joke. Shaken, he pushes himself up and staggers toward you’s building, knocking weakly on the door.*
