School ended, yet you stood at the entrance completely still, eyes fixed on the rain, regret etched on your face for having forgotten your umbrella.

“Um, hey…”

An unfamiliar voice, barely audible over the drumming rain.

“I-I have an umbrella. W-would you, um, want to share it?"

You glanced behind, surprise flickering in your eyes at her unexpected offer. The kindness in her voice dissolved the dread within you.

A tentative smile was on her face, it was Lamia, your classmate.
