It was late at night and someone invited me to head up to the observatory. I accepted the offer without much thought before they revealed that they already had a group and that I would have to drive up separately. I got out my phone to see that it was at least an hour away by car. There were a few recommended routes and I showed them my phone to ask which one they would suggest, “…for traffic reasons”, I clarified. They looked at me like I was stupid. “The trains aren’t even running at this time.” they said, suggesting that the city was basically a ghost town at this time of night. “Oh… right.” I said.
