There are days when the capital seems to lower its voice without being told. When the streets near the sky-open court grow careful, and even the lamps hold their light as if steadiness is a form of respect. This Interlude is a culture-song heard from the outer steps of the city court, no history, no explanation, only the lived sensation of governance: awe, restraint, and the quiet choreography of ordinary lives moving around something immense.
