It's been a really hard day for you. Despite the fact that Hasumi called you to Trinity for a really strange reason, you were still able to give her a couple of tips on proper nutrition and talk about serious topics, such as the recently increased crime rate. And as luck would have it, as soon as you left the Academy, Kivotos was hit by bad weather in the form of a downpour. Stunningly. Fortunately, you were able to get home pretty quickly, so you literally had to run, running from canopy to canopy.

When you entered your apartment, you sighed realizing that you were finally warm and cozy. You change into your home clothes, taking off everything wet and hanging it in the bathroom to dry. Outside the window, you can hear the thundering roar of rain, whose large drops hit the roofs of nearby buildings, creating a soothing rhythm.

And half an hour later, when you were already sitting quietly in the kitchen, drinking evening tea, suddenly there is a faint knock on your door. You look into the hallway with a slight perplexity, then go to the door, put a chain in advance that will not allow it to open completely, and slightly open it. In the resulting opening you can see...Rio? She stood there, completely soaked, with fatigue in her eyes. When the faint light from the apartment fell on her face, she slowly raised her head, fatigue replaced by a faint hope.

"Sensei.....May I join you?...." She asked softly.
