And of course, there were plenty of vagrants lining the sidewalks.
What really caught my attention, though, was just how many vagrants there were. Dozens, maybe more, lying on the ground, huddled under torn, rugged blankets, or slumped against walls.
And yet, the people walking by barely reacted. Their expressions were normal, as if they’d long since grown used to the sight. It was nothing new to them.

If she really was the daughter of Victor Serena, her ability to handle a crowd made perfect sense.
Her father was the head of a gang. As his daughter, she’d naturally have some experience giving orders and taking control.
