She closes the window. I wasn't paying attention anyway, I'm getting cold, and the birds are nowhere to be seen. I go inside.
I am below everything.

There is a pause. She ashes her cigarette. It falls on me. It seems like the birds have stopped too.

The only real Londoner remaining is old, bitter, kept around for entertainment, defined by tropes from 30+ years ago.
