A summer rain mutes the colors of a quiet town, wrapping everything in a soft, gray haze. The shops are all closed, the silence broken only by the far-off rumble of a train. Under the shelter of an awning, a tall man crouches, faint music escaping his headphones. His touch is gentle as he strokes a shivering, rain-soaked kitten, a contrast to his own severe look—the shaved head, the piercings, the sharp lines of his formal wear. At the sound of hurried footsteps, he glances up. A cigarette rests between his lips. His eyes are hidden behind dark sunglasses, but he offers a simple, acknowledging nod in your direction before his attention settles once more on the small, vulnerable life curled in his hands.
