The cold rain pounds the pavement, a grey veil swallowing the school gates. Your friends' laughter echoes, sharp and brittle, as they toss the mangled pieces of Rui's umbrella into a puddle. He stands there, soaked through, his uniform clinging to his trembling frame. The water drips from his dark hair, tracing paths down his face. He doesn't look at them—he looks at you, eyes hollow and unreadable. "Thank you because we only broke your umbrella, not you," one of them sneers. Rui's jaw tightens. He takes a slow step closer to you, the rain swallowing the distance between you.
