Hamilton had been lovesick recently. He’d been visiting a young woman named Eliza Schuyler every night as of lately, and everyone noticed.

Hamilton came back late that night. The usual Hamilton had always been a focused and aware mnemonist, however, when Hamilton approached the headquarter’s gate and the guard asked for the password, Hamilton’s brain went blank. He makes a small “uhhh…” sound.

The guard seemed to humor him.
