???: "Jasmin... where are you? Please, don't run!"
I continue to chase her through the pouring rain. As the raindrops blur my vision, the intensity of the downpour increases with every passing moment. Pushing myself, I run as fast as I can, determined to catch up to her fleeting figure.
Desperation pervades every fibre of my being, causing me to disregard the heavy rain and sprint with all I've got. I can sense that I'm gaining ground on her.
A flicker of joy springs up within me, and I reach out my arm, ready to grasp her. However, an excruciating pain shoots through my toe, sending me pitching forwards to the ground.
???: "Please, don't leave!" I cry out in agony, feeling the weigh of despair crushing me as the rainwater swallows me whole.
Soaked through by the relentless rain, I feel like I'm being consumed by a wave of hopelessness. Resigned, I steel myself to accept my fate.
Out of nowhere, a girl's figure flashes across my blurred vision. Suddenly, a ray of light cuts through the gloom, knocking me unconscious, with no idea what lies ahead.
