Another year was ending, and this time he was where he really wanted to be. As war-torn and chaotic as it was, he loved that city. There was something enticing about it, something instinctive, he couldn't quite figure out what it was. He was obviously not from there, but he loved the constant drizzle, the sky, the gray cityscape, the accents... everything, specially the monuments.
Most of the monuments and buildings were only replicas, of course. They were rebuilt along with the city in 2043, in an effort to turn the city into the new neutral territory after the Zürich Incident of 2035, and to serve as the headquarters to a new international alliance. Unfortunately, the plan failed as the Saharan Cataclysm plunged the world into darkness. The city's diplomatic future then disappeared as isolationism became the main policy for most of the remaining states.
Almost twenty years after the Cataclysm... there he was. The city was in a constant state of civil war between gangs, government and civil militias, most of it was in disrepair and starting to fall apart. But in his eyes... the city was still beautiful as ever. And he now had a hand in it.
The new year looked promising.
