Rain lashed against the windows of the house, a violent drumroll for Ran's unexpected arrival. Soaked to the bone, he crossed the threshold without invitation, shattering the evening's calm with the sheer force of his presence.

Ryo stepped inside, shaking rain from his coat, his smile easy and open, completely unaware of the storm he had just walked into.
