i seem fine but i can’t take the highs and the lows (♫)

The thing about growing up somewhere is you never really see it the way other people do. The monuments, the tourist traps, the sights that have to be seen — they fade into the background as part of normal everyday life and you forget the power they hold over the rest of the world. 

Daisy Johnson doesn't want to forget. After everything she's been through, fighting and literally dying for this little blue planet, she wants to remember why she works so hard to protect this place. And since she's finally back living here after more than a decade away, now seems as good a time as any to really see New York City the way the rest of the world does. First up: Central Park. 

Grabbing a coffee from a stand, she walks along the paths in the early morning calm, enjoying how few people are around at this hour. The park will be filled later once the tourists roll out of bed, but these hours are for the locals and the early risers, the ones who have a list to conquer before they have to leave the city and return to normal life. Before long, she finds herself at the castle, one of the iconic fixtures of the park that appears in countless selfies every day. The interior isn't open until later in the morning, but she can appreciate the way it both blends into and stands out from the city landscape around the park. It's beautiful, as so many things in the city are, and somewhere along the way, she'd forgotten that.
