A windy night, warmer than expected, yet unsettled. No campfire to anchor the night, no quiet corner to claim. The streets hum with restless energy - too crowded for solitude, too empty to disappear. Pavements filled with chatter and laughter, bottles raised, smokes shared - enjoyment or escape?

Headphones on, sound cranked up, hoodie drawn tight - just passing through. A hundred eyes, a hundred lives, a hundred vibes, yet no place appears. Not tonight. Not here. The choice lingers: venture further or wait for stillness within.
