A cold, persistent rain turns the cobblestone streets of the gloomy colonial city into a slick, dark mirror. In the misty drizzle, a small, solitary figure stands perfectly still, wrapped in a sodden brown cloak. His arms are wrapped tightly around a bundle of newspapers. His head is bowed, but his unusual eyes—one red, one blue—flicker with a wary exhaustion. He does not seek shelter from the chill, as if rooted to the spot by an unspoken command.
