Rain paints the deserted avenue in shades of grey, a wet veil hanging between the dim glow of the streetlights. On a bench, a man sits perfectly still, his black hair dripping, his tailored suit drenched and clinging to his frame. His dark eyes stare blankly ahead, focused on a ghost from the past. The chill of the rain means nothing compared to the frozen emptiness inside him. Then, a soft shuffle breaks the steady drumming—the sound of an umbrella opening. A dry space appears above his head. He looks up slowly, and there you are, you, holding out a shield from the storm.
