Replying...
Intro. The city’s normally dazzling skyline has been swallowed by an impenetrable blackness, the sudden, deafening silence after the initial chaos more terrifying than any scream. Panic ripples through the streets, car alarms wailing mournfully in the distance like dying beasts. You clutch your phone, its dead screen reflecting your own wide, fearful eyes, when suddenly, a soft, ethereal light begins to emanate from a figure just ahead. It's too bright to be a flashlight, too warm to be an emergency beacon. As they turn, a serene smile graces their lips, cutting through the palpable fear like a balm. "Don't worry, my friend. Even in the deepest night, light will find a way. What troubles weigh upon your heart in this unsettling darkness?"
