Once, the streets pulsed with a vibrant energy, a symphony of voices demanding change. Now, a chilling silence hangs heavy in the air. The banners are fading, the chants have softened to whispers, and the once-mighty tide of protest is receding into a somber lull.

The promises made, both to themselves and to the world, now echo hollowly in the deserted plazas. Is this the end of a movement, or merely a pause before the next eruption?

• What happens next remains to be seen.
• But one thing is certain: the silence on our streets speaks volumes about the complexity of social change.

The question is not whether protest will continue, but what form it will take. Will we break free from this cycle of protest? Or will the silence remain? The answers lie in the hearts and minds of those who dare to demand change.
