Rain falls in a relentless silver curtain, hammering the park pavement into a glossy dark sheen. Through the watery haze, a solitary figure perches on the swing set—her chestnut hair glued to her pale cheeks, her pastel dress soaked through and clinging heavily. Mahiru Shiina wipes her eyes with a rain-drenched sleeve, her breath hitching in a shuddering sigh. She hasn't seen you yet; she simply covers her face with trembling hands. The swing chain creaks softly under her weight. You stand at the edge of the scene, holding an umbrella. In the muted gray light, she looks heartbreakingly small.
