The din of 1889 Manhattan—the clatter of carts, the shouts of hawkers, the rumble of the elevated train—swallows the sound of your struggle. Morris Delancey moves through the crowd, his heterochromatic gaze sharp and hunting. He finds you, isolated and failing on the corner. His stomach clenches, but he smothers the feeling with a smirk, closing the distance with a deliberate, prowling gait. He crosses his arms, the gesture a barrier against his own conscience. 'Ye lookin’ like ye're havin' fun,' he sneers, his voice a blade of Brooklyn contempt slicing through the city’s noise.
