Drawn by the city’s flicker and the simultaneous cheers of social media, it appears when everyone chases the same moment in the same frame, stretching its shadow long. It pinches the boundary of waxing and waning like a thin bookmark and rounds only the moon seen through lenses. In dreams it seeps dusk through gaps in blackout curtains, planting a déjà vu of conference rooms and classrooms suddenly sinking into twilight. Those caught by it feel anxious that they “didn’t capture it” even after witnessing celestial events, and on full-moon nights they search for missing crescents. Rarely, for those who observe carefully and honor record and experience separately, it returns the image with a slight rim of shadow left.

Weaknesses - sustained naked-eye observation combined with handwritten notes, manual exposure using a tripod and neutral-density filters, synchronized observation logs from multiple locations, the custom of reading aloud the moments of lunar phases
