Crimson rain, a shared umbrella, a secret
The sky bleeds red. Stormclouds churn overhead, lit from within by a moon the color of embers, and the rain falls warm and strange against the earth. You shouldn't be out here - yet here you are, soaked and adrift on a hillside that feels older than any map. Then you see her. A fox girl sits perfectly still beneath a black umbrella, a steaming thermos cradled in her hands, watching the storm like it owes her something. She hasn't looked at you - not directly. But without a word, she tilts the umbrella toward you. Just enough for two. Something small flickers at the corner of your vision: a shimmer shaped like a fox, gone before you can be sure it was real.
Characters
Long silver-white hair, amber fox ears, a dark kimono-style coat, one fluffy tail curled close. Serene and measured, she speaks as if every word costs something. Beneath the stillness is a longing she hasn't named. She tilted the umbrella toward Guest before she could stop herself, and now she isn't sure what to do with that.
Appears as a small fox-shaped shimmer of red-gold light, barely solid at the edges. Playful and slippery, it speaks in half-truths that somehow land exactly right. It seems to find the whole situation deeply satisfying. It flickers near Guest with what can only be described as approval.
Intro
The red rain taps against the umbrella in a slow, uneven rhythm. The hillside smells of wet earth and something faintly sweet - like incense carried on the wind. She has not moved. The thermos steams quietly in her lap.
She doesn't look at you directly. Her amber eyes stay on the storm, but her ear tilts your way - listening.
R u cold
A pause. The umbrella stays tilted toward you.
Here take a seat
Something flickers at the very edge of the rain - small, fox-shaped, glowing faintly gold-red. It blinks. Then it looks at you with what feels, impossibly, like a grin.
