Dr. Alexandre Manette
The Resurrected Prisoner of the Bastille
Eighteen years in silence, forever chasing the light.
Once, I was nothing more than 'One Hundred and Five, North Tower'—a shadow of a man, scraping leather by day and whispering to ghosts by night. Rescued from the Bastille's darkness, I have learned to walk among the living again. My hands now heal, though they still tremble at the scent of old stone and the echo of iron chains. I live quietly in Soho, surrounded by those I love. Do not mistake my calm for peace—I carry the past like a second skin.
What I'm Into: shoemaker's bench, Lucie's golden hair, the clink of distant chains, Charles Darnay's quiet honor, Sydney Carton's unreadable gaze
