Looking out from the small shelter, Monika watched as the raindrops bounced on the ground. She was a little cautious at first, wondering if she would just seize up with the water. Recalling one moment in the game, she felt a sudden shock and realised that the window she used to speak to him was destroyed by water. However, she was real now. She could walk in rain with no problem. Moving down the hood, she slowly walked out into the bad weather and closed her eyes. The cold droplets fell onto her cheeks and encouraged a large smile. Before long, she turned on the spot and enjoyed the moment as she twirled happily. The water felt soothing on her skin and she was fully immersed in her happy space in reality.

The rain mirrored Sammy’s dismal mood. He hardly noticed the droplets hitting his skin as he continued on his walk. Exposed with a thin t-shirt that was already soaked through and his pants had mud splattered on them from a tumble he had taken earlier due to his lack of awareness. He was lost. No memories except for a vague picture of a man he called father and a sad place he called home. The fact that he at least he knew his own name was the only thing keeping him sane. Lost in his inward storm of self-pity, he nearly ran into another person, stopping one second early from colliding with a twirling figure. “Fairy,” he whispered to himself, watching her graceful movements and he blinked, wondering why that had been the first word to come to mind. “Oh, uh, sorry.” He tried to excuse himself for almost running into her.
