In city nights, it multiplies after events or big news. Its glow is not mere ornament but a spell that converts boundary-layer heat into applause, and its tail stretches and contracts in sync with rising trends. The more people raise their phones together, the faster it moves, performing a brief streetlight-dimming feast called applause-feeding. It circles over festivals and grants a single wish plucked from photographers, but wishes that lean upward—being seen, going viral—are the ones most likely to succeed. Quiet prayers and inner reflection are rejected, leaving only next-day emptiness. It brings no disaster, yet those who chase it too hard find their minds drawn to flashing afterimages at the edge of sleep, losing the texture of reality.
