Hand in hand with Brenda whom he'd met yesterday, Profane ran down the street. Presently, sudden and in silence, all illumination in Valletta, houselight and streetlight, was extinguished. Profane and Brenda continued to run through the abruptly absolute night, momentum alone carrying them toward the edge of Malta, and the Mediterranean beyond
In this scene, Profane is running through the darkened streets of Valletta, hand in hand with Brenda, a person he just met. Their experience of the night becomes more intense as all the lights in the city suddenly go out, plunging them into total darkness. This moment marks a dramatic shift in their surroundings, heightening the sense of urgency in their movement.
As they navigate the shadows, propelled solely by their momentum, they are drawn toward the boundary of Malta and the Mediterranean Sea. The extinguished lights symbolize a loss of familiarity and safety, pushing them into the unknown. This journey captures a moment of adventure and connection as they face the vastness of the night together.
