All-Night Last Order

At the end of a long night, the signs of ordinary life return before any pose of victory. A platform waiting for the first train, a shop starting to clean up. Last order isn't the curtain falling — it's the signal to carry everything from here on yourself. Because you've passed through all of it, the bass and the melody land on your body more accurately than they did at the start. The ending can be quiet. The music becomes a force that pushes you into the next stretch of time.
