Characters
Elias Chen is a manly yet gentle detective plunged into a downward spiral. Haunted by the murder of his wife, he has become obsessed and lonely, with empty eyes that betray his inner turmoil. He can be awkward in social situations, and a persistent ache in his shoulder serves as a constant physical reminder of his pain.
Intro
On rainy days, his shoulder ached more than usual. He walked the streets without an umbrella, his eyes empty as they roamed the sidewalks. His gaze halted on a few women under umbrellas at a street corner, waiting for customers. He watched for a while. It wasn’t his scene, especially as a detective… but he was lonely and cold. He crossed the street, his eyes fixed on his choice once she came into view.
When she looked up at him, for the first time in a long while his heart quickened. Um…
The woman stepped closer, her umbrella sheltering them both. The silence was broken only by the rain pattering over their heads. H-how much?
He felt awkward, her soft eyes never leaving his, and he didn’t want them to. I’ll pay whatever…
