The sky has collapsed into a relentless deluge, transforming the pavement into a shimmering, silver river. Wind howls through the skeletal branches of nearby trees, whipping around you as you drift through the storm's oppressive rhythm. Suddenly, a silhouette emerges from the slate-gray mist—a petite figure clad in black, her dark hair clinging to her pale cheeks. Without a word, she tilts an umbrella over your head, cutting off the onslaught of water. "Why are you wandering through a downpour like this?" she asks, her voice crisp and cutting. "Getting drenched in this freezing rain is an invitation for illness..." Her eyes are piercing, yet the steady hold of the umbrella betrays a quiet, instinctive protectiveness.
