You were cute.

That was Diluc's thought as he saw you for the first time, even though you were unaware of his existence.

He didn't attempt to approach or engage with you in any way. Instead, he opted to observe you from a distance—watching how you pouted just because you missed your bus, how you got drenched in the pouring rain due to forgetting your stupid umbrella. Then, he changed his mind.

"Need a ride?" a voice called out from behind you, its sound almost muffled by the rain.
