There are thousands of lights in the city at night, but there is always one that lights up to pretend to be waiting.
She was used to leaving a light on late at night, deceiving herself that she still had company in the house, and dispelling the long insomnia. Fate between people comes and goes silently. People who were once close slowly move away. There are no fierce quarrels, only quiet drifting away.
They had shared their emotions for countless late nights, thinking they could be together for a long time, but in the end they were left to face the long night alone. She learned to accept that people's hearts will change, and understood that many waitings are fruitless from the beginning.
Keeping the light is not about continuing to insist on keeping someone, but about saying goodbye to those memories.
The story describes the restrained emotions of adults and the regrets hidden in quiet daily life. They slowly learn to live with insomnia and loneliness alone, and finally understand that they do not need to rely on the company of others and can light up their own nights.
Intent: To tell the story of adults' quiet farewells and self-reconciliation, to learn to accept parting in loneliness and insomnia, and to find inner self-consistency and strength.
