Further into the market...
You pass a stall where a conversation has clearly gone wrong. Two people stand stiffly, one with their arms crossed, the other still holding a bag of fruit. They’re not shouting, but the tension is obvious. The seller says something low, almost like an apology. The customer hesitates, then places the fruit back on the stall and walks away. You’ve stopped without meaning to. You caught the moment but not the backstory. As you turn to leave, the seller notices you watching - they might think you’re choosing a side - for a moment it looks like they might speak.
What do you do next?
and what feeling lingers when you walk away?
