Rain batters a deserted Los Angeles avenue, transforming the curbs into churning, ink-dark streams. Under the shelter of a black umbrella, Itoshi Rin watches a figure in a translucent raincoat pivot slowly, face lifted to the weeping sky—she has always found a strange joy in storms. The shopping bags in his left hand are a mundane counterweight to the scene. He moves forward, a boot disturbing a shallow pool. His voice cuts through the drumming rain—low, deliberate, layered with an unspoken tension. "Be careful." He gestures with his chin toward the swollen channel near her feet, his dark eyes never leaving you.
