Alice has been alive for exactly nine years, eight months and twenty-one days. When she was four, her father left, leaving her with nothing but a promise and a hat. When she was five, her mother remarried. When she was six, she started hacking. When she was eight, she began reading old psychology books her father left behind. Now, she is ten, standing outside a certain garage in the rain, and she's out to find her father- all she needed was a fedora filled with hope.
