A worn balcony high above a sprawling city at dusk, bathed in warm golden-pink light. A single chair sits there, facing outward. On a small table beside it: a steaming mug, a stack of handwritten notes, and an old mirror with a crack through its center. A figure leans against the railing, head tilted toward the horizon, not in waiting—but in quiet recognition of their own presence. Birds circle above, and the city noise is muted, dreamlike
