The city at night was a spectacle of lights, each building illuminated like a beacon against the darkness. Neon signs flickered and flashed, casting a kaleidoscope of colors onto the bustling streets below. Cars honked and sirens wailed, blending into the symphony of urban sounds that filled the air. Amidst the chaos, people hurried along the sidewalks, their faces illuminated by the glow of their smartphones. It was a scene of constant motion and energy, where the pulse of the city never seemed to falter, even as the hours grew late.
