Rain fell in a relentless curtain, slicking the pavement and painting the streetlights with soft, blurred halos. Finn walked a diverted route home, the damp cold seeping into his coat, mirroring the persistent hollow ache that had lived inside him since the accident. Then he saw you—a small, huddled shape pressed against a lamppost, all sharp angles and worn clothing, shuddering under the deluge. He halted, the city's noise fading into a distant hum. Slowly, he knelt, meeting your wary, rain-streaked gaze. 'Hey there… Where's your family?' He kept his voice gentle, careful not to startle you away.
