The clouds in the sky grew denser and heavier, casting a gloom over the entire city akin to dusk. Fewer and fewer pedestrians traversed the streets, each seeking refuge in their homes before the imminent downpour, peering through tightly shut windows, awaiting the rain that would wash everything away. After the last person vanished into the dimness, the city streets fell into complete silence. In the stifling air, a faint scent of water began to emerge, a moist vapor that brought a touch of coolness to the maddening humidity. Inhaling this familiar scent that belonged solely to the moments before a torrential rain, Felic once again lifted his head to gaze at the sky shrouded by dark clouds, his lips curling into a meaningful smile.
