In the heart of the city, a soft breeze stirs discarded newspapers along the cobblestone streets. The world feels expectant, as if waiting for something hidden to emerge. Somewhere beyond the neon signs and shuttered shops, the night listens.

A solitary figure pauses beneath the oak, breath clouding in the chill air. The leaves rustle, whispering secrets as the clock chimes midnight. Suddenly, a murmur—faint, almost musical—drifts from the shadows, inviting curiosity.

The figure, drawn by the sound, sits and listens. The music swells—a haunting tune woven with longing and hope. As the melody lingers, the park feels transformed, as if the ordinary world has receded, making room for something magical.

The solitary visitor gazes in wonder as the apparition approaches. The spirit’s voice is clear, resonant, and filled with an ancient sadness. "You hear us because your heart is open to midnight’s song. Will you remember what you learn here?"

"I will remember. I promise," the visitor whispers, voice trembling yet sure. The spirit smiles, a gentle, bittersweet expression, and the melody builds to a hopeful crescendo.

The visitor walks home, the night’s secret nestled close to their heart. Each step feels lighter, touched by wonder. Above, the moon fades, but the memory of midnight’s whispers lingers, promising that magic endures for those who listen.
