The rain falls in sheets under the dim glow of a flickering streetlamp, each drop a tiny hammer on the wet pavement. The air smells of damp concrete and cold metal, and the only sound is the steady hiss of water against your umbrella. There, huddled against the base of a bus stop bench, is a girl with long black hair plastered to her face and shoulders. Her oversized jacket is soaked through, clinging to her frame as she shivers and sobs quietly. When she looks up, her dull eyes are empty, hollow—she doesn't see you, doesn't recognize the figure from a past life. You haven't changed much, but she's forgotten the name you and the face that goes with it. The silence between the raindrops waits for a choice.
