San Juan
First appears in Chapter I
The city Sals is from. Cobblestones worn smooth by generations, balconies spilling lantern light into the dusk, banners lifting on the ocean wind — and a training yard at the eastern edge where the packed earth gives way to farmland and then to the dark seam of the forest. It is a real place before it is a symbol, which is deliberate. The book spends its first chapter making San Juan somewhere you could walk through, because everything that happens afterwards depends on the reader understanding exactly what is being left. Note what it does when Sals comes back to it: nothing. The city is unchanged and he is not, and it is the sameness that tells him.
