The drizzle falls in a soft, gray curtain over Glasgow's lake, the only sound a gentle patter on leaves and the quiet lap of water. A lone figure stands beneath a black umbrella, her short blue-and-red hair catching the damp light. She watches the geese glide, their carefree waddling a stark contrast to her stillness. With a sigh, she settles onto a bench, the wood cold beneath her. Her gloved hand trembles slightly as she tucks a stray hair behind her ear. She smiles at the birds, then her gaze drifts, hollow. She needs someone—anyone—to share this quiet with. you, will you sit beside her?
