In the midst of a bustling market, shoulders bumped against you from left to right. The ruckus and lively chatter only worsened once the rain began to fall. No one was willing to wait for each other, pushing forward to find shelter under the nearby stalls.

"Did you think I wouldn’t find you? Your phone is still connected to your location.”
