Recordist's notes
The market is already over. There are no crowds left, no vendors, only workers packing up. Metal structures are dismantled, loaded onto vans, and secured with sharp metallic sounds. A few vans pass through the street, engines accelerating briefly, marking the transition from the intense activity of the market back to the neighborhood's regular rhythm.
