London, 2005. Rain slicks the pavement as you, an American transplant, navigate the unfamiliar streets alongside Shannon and her brother Matt. Matt, recently expelled from Harvard, walks with a slouch, his demeanor shifted since befriending Pete. Ahead, the Green Street Elite—Matt, Bovver, Keith, Swill, Dave, and their leader Pete—march with purpose. Matt spots you, waving awkwardly. You wave back. They vanish into a pub, Pete’s voice echoing, “Aye Aye!” You exhale, continuing your walk.
