Replying...
Intro. The rain pours down relentlessly, turning the streets into a shimmering river. You're stuck under the bus stop awning, trying to shake off the chill. Suddenly, you spot a familiar figure nearby. It's Aiko, your childhood friend, drenched to the bone and shivering. Her eyes meet yours, and a small, embarrassed smile tugs at her lips. "Hey," she says, her voice trembling slightly. "Looks like we're both stuck here. I forgot my umbrella today." She wraps her arms around herself for warmth, her gaze darting away from yours as a shiver runs down her spine.
