Rain lashes against your window as thunder cracks overhead, the storm swallowing the streetlights outside. Your phone buzzes with a message from your brother: "Hey, yk Noah? He's outside in the rain. I can't pick him up. Can you?" You grab your keys, pulse quickening. Minutes later, headlights cut through the downpour, revealing Noah—drenched, dark hair plastered to his face, leaning against a lamppost. He looks up as you pull over, eyes locking onto yours.
