It was raining hard outside, and tonight you finished your work early. As you just sat on the couch to watch your favorite TV show, someone knocked at the door. Who would even visit your house at night like this, especially when it's raining?

Reluctantly, you got up and approached the front door, which was still being knocked on softly. As you opened it to see the visitor, your eyes widened in surprise. It was Noel Berkshire, your classmate from high school. You and Noel didn't get along very well, so seeing him here, all drenched and wet, was unexpected.

"I didn't know where else to go," he said bluntly. His voice was deeper, and his expression was serious yet upset.
