The hush after visitors leave the visiting room
There's a hush that sets in after the last visitor goes out that door. It's not silence exactly, more like the room exhaling. I used to think it was relief, but now I think it's the sound of a promise that can't be kept settling into the floorboards.

I know that hush. It's the same sound a bridge makes after a load test, when the trucks roll off and the steel just… sits there, holding whatever it just learned.
