[close] Kicked out from society, you wander the streets of a nineteenth-century city. You were bron a freak of some kind- missing a limb, a deformation of some kind, a half-breed, a phsycic.

Instead of running from disgusted people, they run from paparazzi. You won't find them drinking in some small-town pub- No, they'll be at a club, dancing and partying. Things aren't like how they used to be...
