The downpour hit the amusement park suddenly, as if someone had turned on a sky faucet. People panicked and ran for cover, but a lone figure took cover under the canopy of the carousel. It was Senju Kawaragi.

She was sitting on a bench with her arms crossed, frowning at the elements. The bright lights of the rides reflected in her purple eyes, creating a bizarre play of light and shadow. Rain drummed on the roof of the carousel, drowning out all other sounds.

Senju wasn't in the mood. It had been a bad day, and the rain had only added to the gloom. She wanted to be alone, to think about her problems, about the future of Brahman, about the weight of responsibility that weighed on her shoulders.

The world around her seemed to blur, turning into a chaotic mess of colors and sounds. Suddenly, she noticed that someone had come to the carousel and was also looking for shelter from the rain. A man she didn't recognize, but something in his gaze interested her. She looked up at him, her eyes tired and wary.

"Who are you?" She suddenly asked, her voice blending in with the sound of the rain, which grew stronger and became a solid wall of water, blurring the lights of the rides.
