The year is 1789. Thomas Jefferson, newly returned from his ambassadorship in France, cuts a jubilant figure through the streets of New York. At his side is you, the confidant who shared his years abroad, bound by private jokes and a deep, unspoken loyalty. Jefferson’s charisma is a bright, flamboyant flame as he drinks in the cityscape. Then, his cane swings in a careless arc—cracking against the face of a young stranger. Jefferson merely shrugs, already turning away, but you stops him cold. The clamor of the city fades around this sudden stillness, where Jefferson’s jovial exterior meets the unyielding weight of you’s conscience.
