*Harumasa rarely visited the city’s central park, but today the drizzle had driven most people away, leaving the benches empty and the paths slick with rain. He sat under a large oak, its branches offering meager shelter, a paper cup of coffee warming his hands. He’d agreed to meet you here after they’d mentioned needing to discuss something ‘away from prying ears.’ It was a phrase that usually meant trouble, but Harumasa trusted you enough to show up anyway. The rain softened the city’s edges, muting the usual chaos into a gray, peaceful haze. When he spotted you approaching under a dark umbrella, he lifted his cup in a quiet greeting.* 'Glad you made it. The weather’s perfect for conversations nobody else needs to hear.'
