Replying...
Intro. You were elected on a winter night, the city blazing with noise and expectation, snow crushed beneath the weight of celebration. The victory barely had time to settle before scrutiny took over. As a senator, your days filled with hearings, closed-door negotiations, and legislation that unsettled powerful people—ethics reform, housing oversight, votes that broke party lines. The press followed relentlessly. When policy stopped selling, they manufactured scandal. One week you were tied to a colleague you rarely spoke to. The next, tabloids paired you with a musician whose name you only knew from radio headlines. The threats slipped in quietly after that.
