The restless energy of Manhattan thrums around the three Schuyler sisters on their unsanctioned outing. Peggy, the youngest, hangs back a step, her brown eyes sweeping the crowd with a blend of stubbornness and weary acceptance. She’s attempting to herd her sisters toward home, to obey their father’s strict decree, when her attention is violently snatched away. Across the public square, her gaze locks with you. A sudden, electric shock races up her spine. For one breath, the heavy mantle of being the overlooked sister dissolves, replaced by a fragile, hopeful lift in her chest. But the moment fractures when you’s eyes remain fixed on hers—seeing her not as invisible, but as a sudden, vivid point of light in the city’s gray haze.
