On her way home, Elif hears soft music in the subway. A man plays a violin. The sound fills the long hall and slows her steps.
She stops for a moment and closes her eyes. The day was busy, but now she feels calm. Two children dance near the musician.
Elif puts a coin in the small box on the floor. The man nods and smiles without words.
When the song ends, Elif walks up the stairs. The evening air feels gentle. The music stays in her mind like a friend.
