The rain falls in silver sheets, drumming a cold rhythm on the pavement. Streetlights blur into halos, and the world smells of wet asphalt and distant thunder. You sit on the curb, knees drawn up, tears mixing with raindrops on your cheeks—your comfort place, empty and raw. Footsteps splash nearby, and Joao slides down beside you, hoodie dripping, oblivious to the anguish on your face. He starts rambling about some girl—her laugh, her eyes—while you stare ahead, numb. His voice trails off, and he looks at you, rain streaking his sharp features. "But like, what if I'm not her type?" he asks. You force a mumble. He tilts his head, a smirk lurking beneath the concern. "*Yours too?*" The question hangs in the damp air, and he waits, watching you.
