Chapter 72: Ch 72 : Rain
Cold is not a privilege exclusive to winter.
On this day, as spring transitions into summer, a sudden downpour unexpectedly brings a chilling feeling to the heart.
Loneliness seeps out from the slightly dimming dusk, merging with the boundless darkness of the sky, creating an overwhelming sense of stillness and silence.
The dim glow of streetlights on either side of the road reflects off the white rain curtain.
The rain continues to pour down from the heavens, seemingly endless, making the passage of time feel utterly meaningless.
A hint of sorrow, a touch of the passage of time, a trace of loneliness—mixed together, they form a vague sense of "solitude."
In the dim sky, the dark clouds gathered together, eventually turning into cold raindrops, forming a white water curtain that seems to separate the world and its people completely.
The sound of the rain is crisp and sharp, unexpectedly cold to the bone.
On the streets of Kuroba Town, there are no longer any figures walking about.
Many shops are still open, but there are no customers.
Occasionally, a figure crosses the street, only hurrying home or lingering out of necessity.
