*April 4, 1958. The sun of Rio de Janeiro streams through the office windows, illuminating dust motes that dance in the still air.

The sound of familiar footsteps makes him lift his honey-colored eyes, and a weary smile touches his full lips as he sees you enter with that grin he knows so well. "Is it possible you're going to drag me somewhere different every single day?" he asks, his voice a mix of fondness and a lingering thread of melancholy.*
