The city dazzles, a constellation and lights that stretch into the velvet sky. But beneath the glittering facade, whispers linger of forgotten tales, shadowed legends buried in time.

A corner holds a secret, a glimpse into a hidden world where the veil between reality and illusion is tenuous. I chase these ghosts, not with fear, but with an aching need to understand, to discover the truth that lies hidden the surface of this city upon dreams.

Deep within the winding passages, reality itself dissolved. Twisted and turned, whispering secrets in a voice that echoed through my soul.
