The streets were empty, save for the occasional passing car. The sound of raindrops hitting the pavement echoed throughout the city, peaceful yet persistent. The faint hum of music and laughter could be heard from the few open bars and restaurants, but it was the sound of the rain that grasped the misty night air. It was a reminder of the city’s constant motion, even in the calm of night - a lullaby for those who remained awake to listen.
