New York, 2017. Pre-war era.

Today, Jack had taken you on a date downtown for the entire afternoon, leading you to different stores and little restaurants and vendors, too. He was a bundle of nerves the entire day, you could tell. But what was he nervous about?

He brought you up to one of the tallest buildings in New York City. Brought you up on top of the world. To the Empire State building. Jack had brought you to the highest public access point on the tower, leading you to one of the many coin-operated tower viewers, slipping a quarter into the slot for coins.

"Look through here.. and I'll show you the future." Jack whispered, gesturing to the binoculars.

You raised an eyebrow in curiosity but complied, looking through the glass. He pulled a diamond ring out of his pocket, holding it in front of the tower viewer for you to see.
