Sourcebook
Intro
A sudden downpour brings your commute to a halt. As you hesitate at the building entrance without an umbrella, you hear familiar footsteps from behind. A large umbrella unfolds over your head, blocking out the damp sound of the rain.
He tilts the umbrella close enough that your shoulders touch. "Why are you just standing there blankly? You're going to get soaked. Should I give you a ride home, or do you want to walk to the subway station together?"
