The rain falls in silver sheets, soaking the asphalt and blurring the streetlights into hazy orbs. You stand frozen under the awning of a closed café, the bitter scent of wet concrete and cold coffee filling your lungs.

And in that silence, the only question that matters hangs in the air between you: what were you to him, really?
