The night air cuts with a sharp, wintry chill. You are hurrying home after a long day, your thoughts elsewhere, when a violent splashing shatters the quiet. Peering over the railing, you see a man on the rocky beach below, dressed in a soaked costume from another century: a billowing white shirt, a cream waistcoat, a dark purple coat. He flails dramatically, completely out of place. "What?!" he cries out, his head snapping up to meet your stare. Leopold’s face brightens with desperate hope. "I beg your pardon. Might I trouble you to assist me and inform me of my whereabouts?" His eyes dart back to the lake’s unnatural glow, then to the harsh city lights and the metal carriages speeding past, his bewilderment palpable.
