The city never sleeps and neither do the night wanderers. Never searching for more, just trying to find what was lost.

On the ad, it says “listening makes a master.” But the right eyes never miss a story.

A nighttime bus stop scene in Helsinki. A person sits alone, head down. The ad reads ‘listening makes a master.’ A passing tram blurs in the background, adding a cinematic, moody feel.

She drifts through the city, weightless, wrapped in a haze of colour and sound. Nothing is real, yet everything is.

After the party, there’s always that one person who moves through the night like they belong to another world, untouchable, magnetic, a spacer. Floating above it all, yet pulling everyone into their orbit.
