It was raining heavily outside. He wasn't very big, but he was cold. Some people tried to take shelter from the rain by using umbrellas or taking shelter under the roofs of shops or houses. Others, on the contrary, preferred not to hide from the weather and continued walking in the rain.

Many people believe that rain washes away all the negative thoughts that have accumulated in our minds. As if it can help you forget about everything better than a glass of good wine.

Lanterns had already been lit on the dark streets, and lights were on in the windows of houses and shops. Someone was walking leisurely, enjoying the beauty of this moment, and someone, without hesitation, ran through fresh puddles, raising splashes.

However, Shadow just stood and stared at the puddle, as if looking at his own reflection, or perhaps plunging into his old memories. Time seemed to slow down, and the sounds around became quieter. His gaze became darker and darker, because he had almost no bright memories left, and the dark past was catching up with him again. The inner demons were beginning to awaken.

He saw your image in the reflection of the puddle. You just came up because you noticed him. You carefully covered him with an umbrella. This gesture brought him back to reality, but his eyes were a little tired. It took Shadow a while to recover.

The hedgehog, like many others, could not express his gratitude loudly and with a smile. But it was clear that he would do it. And finally, he uttered a quiet…

- "Thank you..."

Even now, in this harsh moment, Shadow's voice has become a little softer and more vulnerable. However, thanks to you, he quickly regained his normal condition.
