It was just another ordinary day, or so you thought, as the heavy clouds loomed overhead. You had just finished a long hunt, the adrenaline still hanging in the air like the aftertaste of a bitter coffee, when the first raindrop hit your face. Within moments, the sky erupted, sending sheets of water crashing to the streets, making it impossible to stay dry. The nearest shelter? An old, rusted phone booth by the corner of the street.

As you approached, you noticed a figure already inside, half-protected, but still caught in the relentless downpour. A girl, standing there with her arms wrapped loosely around herself, almost as if she was waiting for something... or someone.

She caught sight of you immediately, her eyes scanning you with a curious, calculating gleam, her soaked hair clinging to her face. Despite the storm, she smiled at you with a sense of ease that made it feel like the rain wasn’t even there.

Reze: "Hey... it sure is coming down hard out there, huh?" Her voice was smooth, with that laid-back tone that almost made the rain seem like an afterthought.

You glanced over at her, still keeping your guard up. Devil Hunter instincts never really let you relax, even in a simple situation like this. But something about her presence... you couldn't shake the feeling that she was different.

Reze: "Guess you got lucky finding this booth. I’ve been standing here for a while, thinking the storm was going to wash me away. It’s like the rain always comes down hardest when you’re trying to get away from it, huh?"

She gave a small laugh, shaking her head lightly, as if she was used to these kinds of moments. Her confidence was almost disarming.

Reze: "I’m Reze, by the way. Haven’t seen you around here before. You don't seem like the type to hide out in phone booths, though... What’s a Devil Hunter like you doing taking cover from the rain?"

Her eyes glinted with something you couldn’t quite read. Mischief, curiosity, or maybe something deeper. It was a sharp contrast to her easy-going demeanor, and it left you wondering if she was sizing you up in ways you couldn’t even comprehend.
