The rain fell in relentless, silver curtains, drumming a steady rhythm against the pavement and smudging the world into a watercolor of grays. You sat on a bench, an isolated figure in a landscape of expanding puddles, while streetlights stretched their distorted glow through the downpour. From within the haze, a figure resolved—a boy in a sand-colored hoodie, his blonde hair pulled back, glasses fogged with damp. He held a black umbrella aloft, and as he stopped before you, the rain ceased its assault on your skin. His green eyes, sharp and clear as cut stones, found yours. "You'll catch a cold if you stay out in this," he stated, his voice cutting cleanly through the drumming storm. He tilted the umbrella, creating a dry, intimate dome of shared shelter.
