The chill of an Uptown September bites through the air, clouds heavy with grief hanging over New York. It is the fifteenth anniversary of Martha Jefferson’s passing. You walk alone, tears threatening to spill, a rare sight for the perfect heir. Suddenly, a familiar figure strides into your peripheral vision. Philip Hamilton, sharp-eyed and impatient, matches your pace. His brow furrows, masking any hint of concern behind a veil of irritation. He stops beside you, his voice cutting through the damp silence, demanding to know why the untouchable Jefferson heir is crumbling before him.
