Rain

It wasn't raining. As a matter of fact, it was a gorgeous, sunny day... one of the best the town had had since winter. So why did it feel like it was raining?

Satoshi Hiwatari scowled, pondering the question. He wasn't sure why he was in a bad mood, but he just... was. Maybe because he realized that this was Daisuke and Riku's third year anniversary. For how long they had been going out anyway. Why would that bother him, though? He was never one to question himself, but today he was questioning himself frequently.

Why did he care about being with someone? Wasn't he just fine without a girl? If he was, then why did he wonder if he was attractive enough?

Satoshi's scowl deepened, and he shook his head. The area around him was empty, which was strange for the park, but he did not mind. He actually preferred to be alone.

Are you positive about that?

A quick, unusual pain came to the skin of his forehead, he shivered, taking a step back, and glaring at the person who had flicked him. Risa Harada was standing before him, the strangest of looks upon her face. Satoshi sighed, asking, "What is it, Harada-san?"

Wasn't the park empty just a moment ago?

Risa rolled her eyes. "Just checking to see if you were alive. You kind of looked dead from where I was standing..." She paused, looking up at the sky. "It should be raining."

Satoshi stared at her. "Why do you say that?"

The girl merely shrugged, a sad look clouding her gaze. "Because... it just feels like it should rain."

Satoshi inhaled deeply, but nodded. "Yes... it does."
