It was just strolling along the tiled walkway, completely unbothered by the neon lights. I stopped to watch it for a bit. No rush, just pecking here and there. The way it bobbed its head felt oddly soothing. I could’ve stood there longer, but a car zoomed by, and it hopped away to find a quieter spot. Nothing fancy, but it felt nice in that moment.
