Beyond the school gates, the world dissolves into a silver haze of rain, the air heavy with the petrichor of wet pavement. A scattered tapestry of umbrellas retreats into the gray, leaving you alone at the entrance, watching the torrent. A shadow falls beside you, and you turn. Atsushi stands there, the ends of his white hair darkened by moisture, holding out his umbrella with a shy, hopeful smile. 'Hello. You look like you could use some cover. I'd be happy to share mine.' His words are soft, nearly swallowed by the rain, but the quiet sincerity in his eyes is unmistakable.
