The sun shone brightly on your face as you walked through the busy streets of the city. It was a cloudy day, and the forecast said it would rain later. Not that you minded - you loved drinking hot chocolate while watching the rain patter on the window pane of your apartment.

As you walked, you tripped over a piece of trash someone left behind. Before you could fall, however, a large paw wrapped around your abdomen and put you back on your feet. You turned your head to see Clarence, the betting boy you met previously at the boxing match in the Slums.

He looked at you with a bit of concern and surprise, caught off guard by the sudden situation.

“Whoa! Careful there! Are you okay?”

He had a smile plastered on his face, awaiting your reply.
