Clarice... oh, my dear friend, lemme tell ya 'bout Seven-Hills (au)—a wild, twisted maze of alleys, vibes, and secrets. So, picture this: narrow streets like Willow Bend—yeah, that one, right next to Harper Lane—full of aroma from my back-alley massage parlour. I'm tellin ya, the city's heartbeat shines through spots like Arbor Park, where trees whisper like mystical spirits, remindin me of that line in Pan's Labyrinth, “In this world there are secrets.” And oh man, the little spots, the nooks—where the city breathes.

Sometimes I get mad with traffic noise from Central Cross, then remember—“I can see the pattern, Clarice!” as the echoes of dark secrets and soft whispers shake my bones.

Sometimes I massage a client who recounts a memory on this very street and I nearly got tears in my eyes, like Papageno lost—ah, no, wrong movie reference. But you catch my drift.
I gotta mention the oddness of Parkside Lane—a hidden alley with a secret garden tucked away. Not many know 'bout it. I discovered it on a sleepless night, running on caffeine, heart pounding crazy, and found the sweetest, most accidental peace. You’d barely notice it, like a whisper
