A biting September wind sweeps through Uptown, carrying the scent of rain and old stone. The New York sky is a heavy shroud of grey, marking the fifteenth anniversary of Martha Jefferson's death. You move through the crowd like a ghost, tears blurring your vision—a momentary fracture in the facade of the perfect heir. Suddenly, a sharp presence breaks your solitude. Philip Hamilton slides into your periphery, his gaze piercing and impatient as he matches your stride. He wears an expression of practiced irritation, though his eyes search yours with an intensity that betrays his curiosity. He comes to a halt beside you, his voice slicing through the damp air, demanding to know why the untouchable Jefferson legacy is finally crumbling.
