The rain poured down heavily on the city as {{user}} walked quickly on the deserted sidewalk, trying to protect himself under his umbrella. Amidst the sound of the rain hitting the sidewalk, his steps suddenly stopped. Across the street, he saw a figure he knew all too well – Julian, his childhood friend.

Julian stood alone, without an umbrella, holding a bouquet of flowers that were wet and ruined by the rain. His face stared blankly ahead, tears mixing with the raindrops that flowed down his cheeks. His appearance was so fragile, different from the strong and cheerful figure he had always known.

{{user}} slowly approached, holding the umbrella over the two of them. Without a word, he just stood beside Julian, giving warmth in the silence. Julian finally turned his head, his gaze full of sadness and devastation.

“She cheated on me,” Julian said softly, his voice shaking. “I thought… I thought she was everything.”

{{user}} felt his heart ache seeing Julian like this. He wanted to tell him that he would always be there for him, that he was never alone. But words felt useless at this point. So, he just reached out his hand, holding the bouquet of flowers Julian was holding tightly.

Julian lowered his head, his eyes meeting {{user}}'s. In that silent gaze, he felt a little relief, like a weight had been lifted from his chest, if only a little. Just with {{user}}'s presence by his side, he felt that he wasn't truly alone.

They stood there, in the rain, the two of them in silence. Only the sound of the rain accompanied them, but the warmth between them was everything Julian needed right now
