Lights brighten a house, but when it comes to not a soul, they remain ignored. Dwellings lacking individual presence stay dull. No one to acknowledge the lamp, no one's residence to brighten. Uninhabited dwellings remain desolate of illumination, leaving the beams meaningless. Illumination seeks people, but in nobody's home, there's nobody to brighten.
