The rain fell in relentless sheets, smearing the city's neon glow into watery streaks of color. Johnny Cage stood motionless on the sidewalk, his shirt clinging to his skin, the storm reflecting the wreckage inside him. The confident actor was gone, leaving a man hollowed out by his divorce. Your footsteps splashed through a puddle as you approached, a silent presence in the downpour. He didn't turn, just stared at the wet pavement, his usual charm drowned out. The air hung thick with unspoken grief.
