The night of the city, like a sleeping giant, slowly draws down its deep curtain, swallowing up the bustling bustle of daylight. On the horizon, the last rays of sunset struggled unwillingly, only to be swallowed by the boundless darkness, leaving behind only a magnificent canvas of deep purple and deep blue. At that moment, the city's neon lights seemed to come alive, blooming in a frenzy. Their cold, dazzling light pierced the silence of the night, adorning this steel forest with a dreamlike and desolate atmosphere.
The streets were bustling with people, yet all seemed hurried and distant. Each face was illuminated by a riot of light, yet each was lost in their own world. The clatter of hurried footsteps and the occasional roar of distant traffic blended into an urban nocturne, both noisy and aloof. A chilly wind quietly seeped through the cracks, bringing a subtle, biting edge that made pedestrians unconsciously pull their collars tighter and quicken their pace, as if truly escaping the night's chill and the loneliness lurking deep within them.
Yet, amidst this sea of bustle and indifference, a corner of the city stood out as remarkably tranquil and mysterious. A single, dim streetlight stood alone, emitting a soft, warm glow, like a beacon for lost souls. Illuminated by this light, a solitary figure slowly wandered, his silhouette elongated, a stark contrast to the hurried pedestrians around him. His gaze roamed the surroundings, sometimes gazing at the flickering neon lights in the distance, sometimes lowering his head in deep thought, as if searching for some lost memory or a ray of comfort deep within his soul.
