Like Rain

Ever since Lyn left, Kazuya felt like a dead man walking. It felt like his soul was no longer in this world.

The dream would start the same way.

He would find himself in a strange place on a rooftop. The rain falling rapidly as he overlooked the town from above.

He would have a hard time identifying the buildings did to the heavy rainfall. Even when it slowed down, he could not identify the place.

For a moment, he closed his eyes, hiding away his mask of pain, regret, and longing. He missed her so much, even a dream he could not get rid of the pain. Inside the dream, the pain seemed to grow worse by the minute. The raindrops falling down on his face seemed to mix with the tears running down his race. Inside this place, wherever it is. Isn't he allowed to cry? What is wrong with him shedding tears? Is it a crime to cry?
