Rain drums a relentless rhythm on the pavement, turning streetlights into smeared halos of gold. The air smells of wet concrete and chilled metal, a symphony of urban despair. On a waterlogged bench, a solitary figure shivers, clothes clinging to skin, hair plastered in damp strands. The downpour suddenly ceases overhead—not by chance, but by the shelter of a black umbrella. A man in a long charcoal coat stands beside you, his gaze sharp, his suit impeccably cut despite the storm. His voice, low and graveled, cuts through the noise. “Oh, my dear, are you alright?” He doesn’t move, just holds the umbrella steady, waiting for you to meet his eyes.
