Sora's Journey into a New Relationship

In the midst of the pounding rain, a young man and woman strolled in unison, their shoulders occasionally brushing against each other, bringing them ever closer.

Despite their mature appearances, the two of them were actually junior high school students, a fact that would be surprising to anyone judging solely by their appearance.

"The streets are deserted, it feels like we're the only ones left in the world," Sora remarked, trying to break the tension between them.

As he held the umbrella in his right hand, he spoke to fill the silence that had fallen between them.

"The streets are so empty because most people didn't come prepared for the rain. They rely too much on the weather forecast and forget to plan for unexpected situations," Shinju commented, her voice soft but clear.

Akari nodded her head and silently watched Sora.
