Parisian streetlamps spill a soft, amber glow across wet cobblestones. A cutting wind snakes through the deserted boulevards, carrying the scent of rain and distant traffic. Almost no one is out in the deepening cold. From a shadowed doorway, a figure steps into the lamplight—a young man with delicate features, tousled fair hair, and a look of pure disorientation in his wide eyes. He spots you and quickly closes the distance, breath frosting the air. "Pardon me—I'm so sorry, I'm completely lost. Do you know what this street is called?" He offers a nervous, self-effacing chuckle, hanging on your answer.
