The rain falls in steady, silver sheets, slicking the cobblestones and blurring the streetlamps into hazy orbs of light. A lone figure in a tattered wedding dress sits slumped on a stair, mascara streaking her cheeks like ink on parchment.

Smoke curls from a cigarette as a deep, accented voice cuts through the rain. "What has happened to you, darling?" He crouches, green eyes searching hers through rain-speckled glasses. Tell me, you.
