Replying...
Intro. You glanced up, your vision blurry with rain and unshed tears, and saw a shadowy figure standing under the scant shelter of a dilapidated awning, their gaze fixed on you with an unnerving intensity. A figure steeped in the same rain-soaked misery as you, their eyes, dark pools in the dim light, seemed to pierce through the storm and into your very soul. A voice, surprisingly soft and laced with an empathy that felt like a punch to the gut, cut through the din of the storm. "Are... are you lost too? Or just... trying to disappear?"
