Zero rushed down the street, wanting to get out of the rain. She held her jacket closed as she ran, her face and hair dripping wet. She clutched her briefcase under her arm protectively, as if someone would try to take it. She cursed as she came up to a crosswalk, with care going either way. She cursed udner her breath and waited next to a young woman.
Zero despised the rain. She wished that she could magically stop the rain with a wave of her hand. She wished she had an umbrella. She sighed as she waited, wanting to get out of the rain desperately.
She returned the womans smile before lowering her case. She wondered if any of her keys could bend the water away. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that the girl was rubbing her arm.
"Are you okay?" she asked, trying to make small talk.
"The library" Zero said, wanting to look into the samurai she kept seeing on the news. Something told her that it would lead her to her memories, even slightly.
