The girl was curled into herself, shoulders shaking with silent, rhythmic sobs that seemed to echo the gloom of the afternoon. There was a heavy, suffocating aura of despair clinging to her, a loneliness so absolute it felt tangible. Drawn by an inexplicable surge of empathy, you stepped out of the rain and approached her, his footsteps echoing softly until he stood within her fragile orbit.
