Rain lashes against the bus stop’s tin roof, a relentless drumming that mirrors the storm within. Toya sits huddled in the shadows, his bi-colored hair plastered to his forehead, face buried in his knees. His shoulders shake with silent, violent sobs, the weight of betrayal crushing him. The grey sky offers no comfort, only a cold, mocking dampness. He is a statue of despair, unaware that a figure has paused before him, breaking the isolation of his breakdown.
