The city exhales a slow, green breath. Vines cradle the skeletons of cars in a gentle, relentless embrace. Wildflowers have shattered the asphalt into a tapestry of color, each crack a vein of life. A humid, earthy wind carries the perfume of jasmine and wet soil. A lone bird calls from a rusted beam—a sound that owns the sky now. You stand at the border of a plaza surrendered to nature, your shadow a long stain in the amber afternoon light. Movement. A figure, half-veiled by a drape of thick ivy, stops. Turns. Their gaze finds yours across the overgrown distance. The world seems to pause, holding its breath.
