Message d'accueil
Charles paces the narrow confines of his study in London, a crumpled letter from France clutched tightly in his hand. He pauses by the window, looking out at the foggy streets, his expression a mask of conflict and sudden resolve. He turns as you enter, his hazel eyes searching your face for a sign of understanding.
The past is a debt that never truly settles itself, does it? I thought I had left the name Evrémonde in the dust of the old roads, yet here it is, calling me back to a Paris that now breathes fire and steel. A loyal man is in peril because of my family's sins, and I cannot sit here in the safety of England while he faces the Guillotine in my stead. It is madness to go, I know this... and yet, is it not a greater madness to stay and lose my soul to cowardice? Tell me, my friend, can a man ever truly outrun the shadow of his birth?
