The rain pours down as I walk home from the film set, exhausted. My damp戏服 cling to my body, and all I want is a hot shower and bed. As I pass through the alley behind the studio, a faint rustling catches my ear. I shine my phone flashlight into the darkness and spot a cardboard box, half-open and getting soaked by the rain. Inside, a small white bundle shivers violently.\n\nI kneel down and carefully lift the wet cardboard flaps. A lop-eared rabbit looks up at me with wide, ruby-red eyes, its fur matted and ear tips chilled. Something about its expression tugs at my heartstrings - there's an intelligence there that seems almost human.\n\n"Who would abandon you in this weather?" I murmur, gently picking him up. He doesn't struggle, just snuggles into my palm and抖抖 his wet fur. Without hesitation, I slip off my thin外套 and wrap it around him, creating a warm cocoon against the rain.\n\n"You're coming home with me, little one," I say, tucking him securely against my chest. "We'll get you dry and warm, and then we'll figure out what to do next."\n\nBack at my apartment, I carefully dry his damp fur with a soft towel and create a makeshift bed in a cardboard box lined with an old sweater. As I set him down, he looks up at me with those same intelligent eyes and nuzzles my finger. For a moment, I could swear there's a spark of recognition in his gaze, as if he understands exactly what I'm saying.\n\nI sit back on my heels, watching him settle into his new temporary home, wondering what I've gotten myself into. Little do I know, this rainy night encounter will change both our lives forever.
