Roused by the city’s first, intimate fall—the crash of glass, the stutter of a siren—the dawn does not arrive as a beacon but as a tightening fist. A corridor of apartments houses people who pretend not to hear the world collapse beyond their doors; within, a routine hums on until hunger and fear rip through the thin veil of civility.

The city’s heartbeat decays into a thrum that quickens with each street they cross, and survival requires listening—listening to who stays, who lies, and who remembers the humanity tucked behind hatreds and hunger. The tension isn’t only about staying alive; it’s about not becoming what the night whispers you must become when there’s no one left to bargain with.
