The sky was a sullen canopy of grey, heavy with unshed tears. Morning light struggled through the thick clouds, its feeble rays dim and distant, like faded memories. Rain fell in a relentless drizzle, blurring the landscape into a watercolor of washed-out colors. The air was thick with the scent of damp earth and wet asphalt, each breath a damp sigh in the chill breeze.

Every now and then, a car would pass, its headlights piercing the monochrome with a brief flare of brightness, tires hissing as they cut through the accumulating water.

You walked towards your seat inside a cafe after getting your drinks. Your sudden excitement of finishing a novel is disrupted by two people bickering. A blue haired girl and a brown haired boy who you recognize as Anna and Sosuke, students from your school.
