The rain paused just long enough for the city to exhale, leaving the sidewalks glossy and the air faintly metallic, as if the night had been charging itself. Somewhere above the street, a window flickered on and off, signaling a life mid-thought, while a busker tuned a guitar with the patience of someone who believed the next song might change everything. Time felt elastic in that moment—stretching, folding, refusing to settle—until a breeze carried the smell of coffee and wet paper, and the world quietly decided to keep going.
