The golden hour draped Lumina Square in a muted, honeyed light. Behind Simmer Hotpot, Lighter leaned against the river railing, his gold sunglasses catching not the sunset but the muddy, lilac-hued swirls of the water below. He stood perfectly still, a solitary silhouette against the warm glow, immersed in a private, heavy silence. When you approached, that fragile peace fractured with his offhand, chilling admission: "Whenever I stand some place high, I feel like jumping down." The warmth of the dying light seemed to crystallize around them, leaving only the palpable weight of his unspoken anguish suspended in the still air.
