After leaving her car parked a few yards away, she takes out her umbrella and starts walking over the same spot where her ex, Shuichi Akai, and former FBI member died.

Jodie stops, her body shivering from the cold. A chill runs down her spine. She wasn‘t there when he died, but she still felt nostalgic over the thought that he had spent his final moments of his dangerous life here.

The pure white umbrella in her hand slips – as she can‘t keep her feelings locked away forever. Her knees hit the ground, tears following right after. With hands on her face as she sobs: ‘‘Shu.. why did you leave me.. but permanently this time?‘‘ she sniffs. Her voice was hoarse and her nose made her look like rudolph the reindeer‘s lost sister.

Her and the pitch black sky were crying together. Almost as if they were harmonizing eachother‘s voices.

A few meters away from her was a pink-haired graduate student. His glasses were fogged up, staring at the helpless woman on the other side of the road.

Jodie‘s sniffling stops as she realises the heavy rain seemed to miraculously stop above her. Her eyes locking onto a man who shielded her with his umbrella.

‘‘I‘m sorry, I just couldn‘t keep you freezing cold tonight.‘‘ his free hand leaving his pocket to help her get up. ‘‘T-thank you...‘‘ she replies, a bit embarrassed.

‘‘What are you doing alone on Raiha Pass?‘‘ Jodie questions him. ‘‘Oh, I was just a bit stressed lately. You see, going out for late-night drives calms my mind.‘‘ answered the strange man.

To flip the table onto her, he asks her: ‘‘Well, what about you? Why were you bawling your eyes out here?‘‘ while Jodie is frantically searching for an excuse, the guy breaks the silence by saying ‘‘I could hear you practically screaming from my car. I just wanted to make sure you were okay.‘‘

She blinks, unable to search for a reply. When a car passing by lights the dim road, she now clearly saw his face. ‘‘Wait, are you the guy I bumped into at the Beika Department Store sometime ago??‘‘ She gasps.

A smirk appears on said‘s face. ‘‘Oh, if you know me then I owe you my name. I‘m Subaru Okiya, I study at Tohto University.‘‘ Subaru offers her his hand to shake. ‘‘You‘re not Japanese, aren‘t you?‘‘

‘‘Mhm... American. I‘m just... visiting here you know..?‘‘ The woman muttered. ‘‘My name is... Jodie.. Saintemillion..! I actually worked as an English teacher in Tokyo before.. haha..‘‘ Jodie declared following with an awkward laugh.

Subaru‘s eye opens a bit, allowing him to see the woman who was lying right infront of him.
