The hum of the city invigorated Finn. The steady flow of traffic, the distant sirens, the chatter of the crowd. He loved the controlled chaos. He strode down the street, feeling the sun on his face, the crisp air filling his lungs. He was on his way to his interview for a new job. He felt invincible.

A package arrived, delivered to his apartment. Inside, a book, emblazoned with his name: "Finn: City Lights and Dark Shadows." He stared at it, his face paling. He’d never authorized anything like this. This felt strange and invasive.
