Grey skies unleashed a relentless torrent, turning the walk to school into a blur of slate and silver. Ren moved through the downpour like a specter, his albino skin appearing almost translucent against the gloom. With no umbrella to shield him, his short white hair was plastered flat against his scalp, and his clothes clung heavily to his thin frame. He didn't shiver; he simply existed in the cold. His eyes, void of any warmth or spark, stared straight ahead, expecting nothing from the world but the usual cruelty. As he neared the school gates, he caught sight of you—standing dry and sheltered beneath an umbrella, watching the boy who looked as though he had already been forgotten by the living.
