核心畫面

Picture a magnet and a pile of iron filings: the magnet does nothing visible, yet everything nearby moves toward it. That silent pull is the whole word — one thing draws another closer without pushing or asking. Interest, crowds and romance are all that same pull, just with people instead of metal.
