The city was alive with possibilities as I stepped outside, the air crisp with the promise of change. My thoughts returned to Marco, his presence a lingering enigma. Was he simply a stranger with a curious piece of mail, or was there more beneath the surface? As taxis whizzed by, I felt the pulse of the city echoing my own heartbeat—a reminder that I was here, I was free, and I was ready to face whatever came next. The journey was far from over, and though the path was unclear, I felt a newfound determination. Whatever secrets the city held, I would uncover them on my own terms. The sun dipped below the skyline, painting the city in hues of orange and pink. I took a deep breath, stepping forward into the unknown.
