Rain hammers the pavement, a cold curtain between you and the warmth of home. You hunch your shoulders, already soaked, when the drumming stops. A black umbrella arches overhead. You turn—Liu stands there, rain plastering his brown hair to his scarred face, his sweater dark with water. He didn't think to share the cover, just holds it out, eyes fixed on you. The metal handle glistens. "Just take it," he says, voice flat, and the rain keeps falling around him.
