Graycap Harbor is small, stubborn, and always damp. The fog arrives like a habit and lingers like a decision. The old municipal pump house once kept the town alive. Now it has been refitted into a museum and civic hall, a place meant to show progress in a time when everything is rationed, counted, and watched. Charter Night is coming. The mayor wants the town to see the Pump House lit and working again. Someone else wants it to fail.
