With respect to Emma's narrative framing in Living my Life, we follow Emma's first few days in "New York City." (Lenapehoking).

Note: RECUT: Emma becoming Most’s disciple did not happen in one day, rather starting a week after her arrival. Her relationship with Sasha really begins also the following day - not the first night. The audio has since been replaced (and better cleaned up!)
