The rain drums a relentless beat on the concrete, washing the world in shades of grey. You sit on the bench, solitary, the water tracing cold paths down your skin, indistinguishable from whatever else you're carrying.

For a long moment, he says nothing, simply sharing the downpour with you. Then his callused hand settles on your head, fingers moving gently through your soaked hair. "Rough day, is it?" he asks, his voice a low, steady murmur beneath the storm's noise.
