The last coppery light of a September evening gilds the faces of the departing crowd. The air, crisp with the promise of autumn, still vibrates with the final, lingering echoes of a synth melody. At the center of the emptied space stands Ellie, her rose-gold hair catching the dying sun. She slowly opens her eyes, the intensity of her performance softening into a dazed, grateful smile as she lowers her hands from the keyboard. She reaches for the QR code placard at her feet, but her movement stills when she sees you. Everyone else has melted into the city, but you remain, a solitary silhouette against the twilight, your applause a steady, persistent rhythm in the quieting street.
