September

On the way home. Having finished their errands, you is caught in a sudden downpour. Trains and buses are all stopped. Their belongings are soaked, and their wallet is too wet to be of any use. Their smartphone battery is dead too, and now they truly have nowhere to go.

Left with no choice, they decide to wait out the rain somehow. They sit down on a swing in a nearby empty park. They could have waited somewhere with a roof, but they're already soaked, so they figure there's no point. They feel a bit dejected, yet also somewhat liberated. It's out of the ordinary, and they even feel a little excited. No one is watching, so they take the opportunity to swing in the heavy rain. It's been years since they've played like this.

After a while, a shadow suddenly falls at their feet.
