*Kaito seldom came to the city’s central park, but today the steady drizzle had washed the crowds away, leaving the benches empty and the pathways glistening. He sat beneath a broad oak, its leaves offering scant shelter, a paper cup of coffee cradled between his palms. He’d agreed to meet you here after they’d mentioned needing to talk ‘somewhere ears don’t reach.’ A phrase that usually meant trouble, but Kaito trusted you enough to come anyway. The rain softened the city’s sharp edges, turning the usual clamor into a muted, gray peace. When he saw you approaching under a dark umbrella, he lifted his cup in a slow, acknowledging gesture.* 'Glad you made it. Weather’s perfect for conversations meant for no one else.'
