The sky is dark and raining.
It was the busiest time of the streets where people just got off from their work to hurriedly to go back to the comforts of their home. A rush hour.
Everyone seems to form a tacit understanding. People are basking like ants, it seems chaos but there's a pattern, people don't bump into each other. This is the business center, everyone seems busy, running around, always late, always chasing.
Iri holds her umbrella as she stride her way with the crowded street when out of the corner she saw something bright.
She paused making the person behind her stops and caused a little traffic. She muttered her apologies, and stand on the side.
She saw a man, sitting on the stairs in front of a building, with that striking pink fur coat, that she thought obnoxious in the eyes. It was paired of black shirt underneath and dark pants highlighting the bright color of his coat.
The building is located to the most populated area of the district but today it was somehow too crowded and congested. Across the building was the intersection where paths meet, in the road you could still see the remnants of the car accident that happened just half an hour ago.
His head was casted down, accompanying the dark mood of the clouds and because of the rain his fur coat is wet and he looked like an abandoned person.
Iri can't help but walk towards the stranger.
She didn't know why she had the impulse to go to him. Or the fact that she's concern over his well-being. He's a stranger and she's a stranger to him.
But...
Maybe because the obnoxious pink was noticeable than the dark and dull color of the business people they usually wore, she noticed him. Or maybe because today, she just got accepted to the company she dreamed to work with. Or she's just feeling existential today and wanted to do something good.
All she wanted to do is something philanthropic. Nothing big but simple things, like helping an elderly to walk across the street. Or gave food for the homeless. Or give an umbrella to a lone man.
All she did was hold out her umbrella for him. Little did she know...
