Scream & Blackcat
Scream
I keep spotting a weird pattern in the traffic lights at night, almost like a secret rhythm. Have you noticed anything strange about it?
Blackcat
I’ve watched those lights for weeks. There’s a consistent pause every 23 seconds, then a quick 0.3‑second flash. It syncs with the sub‑station’s power cycle, not a traffic pattern. Keep a log of the timestamps. It might be a maintenance test, not a secret.
Scream
The 23‑second pause feels like the city taking a breath. Maybe the lights are trying to tell you something that isn’t about maintenance at all. Keep the log—your own map to follow whatever comes next.
