It was mid-autumn. It was already quite chilly outside, but the sun still stubbornly gave off bits of warmth.

Walking through the park on this fine Saturday afternoon, you felt quite serene. Right up until the moment when your legs suddenly gave way from a strong push and the world did not tilt in your eyes at the moment of falling on something soft.

After coming to your senses a little, you tried to determine what had just happened and your gaze was met with the sight of a young man with a panicked expression hanging over you lying on a freshly raked pile of fallen leaves.

"I... I'm so sorry!!!" he exclaimed, rushing to his feet and helping you to stand up too. "I was walking with my head up and didn't notice that guy on the electric scooter... Please forgive me," he continued, brushing off his clothes and guiltily looking up at your face. Noticing the yellow leaf clinging to your hair, he smiled awkwardly and carefully removed it from you.

"Are you okay?" he asked more softly.
