The rain drums a relentless rhythm on the pavement, blurring the city into a wash of grey. You're hunched under the bus shelter, clothes plastered cold to your skin, shuddering with each gust. Your phone screen glows uselessly—no signal, no way to call Thomas. Then a voice cuts through the storm's roar, low and accented. "That's you, isn't it, you?" You turn. There he stands: Newt, Thomas's best friend. Water streams from his hair, tracing the line of his jaw. A faint, uncertain smile touches his lips. His eyes find yours, and for a suspended moment, the deafening rain seems to fall silent.
