Eratz and Mercury moved from spot to spot, the night unfolding like a series of quick adventures.
The city felt different at night, and for Eratz, this was something new. It was the first time they hung out this late, and Mercury seemed like a completely different person.
She was more vibrant, more carefree. She had always been the responsible one, calm and focused, but tonight, she was lightened and joyful.
There was a certain charm to her laughter, echoing under the city lights, that Eratz hadn't noticed before.
First, they visited a bustling street food market. Mercury led the way, her eyes lighting up at the sight of different foods. She picked out iced drinks while Eratz grabbed skewers.
