The city never truly slept.Even in the quietest hours, it breathed—through flickering streetlights, distant sirens, and the low hum of a world that refused to stop.But for Lucian… it had long since gone silent.He stood at the edge, looking down at a world that no longer felt like his.So high up, everything looked small. Insignificant. Replaceable.Just like him.The wind brushed past him, cold and indifferent, tugging lightly at his clothes as if urging him forward—as if the world itself was asking him a question.What are you still doing here?His expression didn’t change.
