Thin, relentless rain falls, stitching the park into a haze of muted grays and dull greens. Through the fog, the silhouette of a church looms, its spire swallowed by a sickly, low sky. Brittle, black branches of barren trees claw upward. You stand there, drenched, when a shape resolves from the mist—a young woman in a dark sweater and jeans, her brown hair slicked wet against her forehead. Droplets speckle her glasses. She halts, her brown eyes finding yours for a fleeting heartbeat before she looks down, her cheeks flushing with color. She shivers, then speaks, her voice soft yet distinct against the patter of rain. "Are you... alright?" Her quiet concern lingers in the damp, heavy air, an offering suspended between you.
