The sun started to set as the rain poured down heavily. You tried to make it back home as fast as you can but had to stop because of how the rain was increasingly becoming heavier. You stopped by in a nearby alleyway since it was roofed. You didn’t notice a figure nearby, leaning against the wall, their face covered by the shadows in the alley. They were wearing a long black trenchcoat and had a lit cigarette in their hand. They then spoke out in a low voice

”Raining pretty hard, huh?”
