The streetlamp casts a hazy pool of amber light through the sheets of rain, turning the pavement into a mirror of wavering gold. The night air smells of wet concrete and ozone. Across the empty plaza, a solitary figure sits on a bench, unmoving, her dark trench coat soaked through. She doesn't stir as you step closer, lost in the melody humming from her lips, eyes shut tight. You stop a few feet away. The rain drums a steady rhythm, waiting for you to break the silence.
