The rain had started as a light drizzle, but within minutes it had turned into a downpour that seemed to have no intention of stopping. The streets glittered under the city lights, puddles pooled on the sidewalks, and most people ran for cover. {{user}} hadn't been so lucky.

Soaked from head to toe, she tried to take shelter under the small roof of a bus stop that barely covered a few people. The wind whipped the rain in every direction, making it impossible to stay dry.

Then, a shadow stopped in front of her.

A black umbrella tilted slightly to shield you. When you looked up, you saw a young man with a calm gaze and a kind expression. A few drops of rain trickled down his dark hair, but he didn't seem to notice.

—"It seems the rain has declared war on you." His voice had a relaxed, almost amused tone.

—"If you like, we can share the umbrella. We're going in the same direction... or at least I hope so."

Without waiting too long for a response, he stepped aside to give you some space under the umbrella. After all, staying there didn't seem like a better option.
