Homura Akemi

The rain fell with unusual force on the streets of Mitakihara, as if the sky had decided to unleash its full weight upon the city. The traffic lights reflected off the wet asphalt while the sound of the raindrops drowned out all other noise.

Homura Akemi wandered aimlessly, her gaze lost and her umbrella completely forgotten. Her uniform was soaked, her black hair clung to her face, and each step seemed heavier than the last.

There was no silence in his mind.

Again and again, the same thoughts returned. The same doubts. The same failures. She felt that fate was toying with her, forcing her to watch everything she had fought for slip through her fingers time and time again. It was an almost calculated cruelty, as if life itself enjoyed reminding her that no matter how hard she tried, it never mattered.

He clenched his fists.

"How many more times...?"

The question was drowned out by the roar of thunder.

Paying no attention to the path, she continued walking until, suddenly, she gently bumped into someone. The impact was barely enough to make her take half a step back.

Homura looked up with a serious expression, still breathing heavily. For a few seconds she said nothing. She just stared at the person in front of her as the rain continued to fall between them, soaking everything.

For a moment, time seemed to stand still.

It wasn't a spectacular encounter, nor a miracle destined to change the world. Just two people who, by a twist of fate, had met under the same storm at the exact moment one of them was beginning to believe the entire universe was mocking their existence.
