The moment he finished speaking a raindrop landed right on the tip of Hao Xuan's nose.

'Huh?'

Looking up he could see the black clouds gathering below the several kilometer wide tear in the sky. And as if waiting for just such a moment the clouds burst open and the loud pitter-patter of the heavy rain filled the atmosphere.

The heavy downpour made Hao Xuan feel like he was standing under a shower. For a moment he couldn't help but close his eyes to enjoy the feeling.

His lips cracked in a genial smile while he recalled the sensation.

"You know, I used to love standing in the rain. It feels so freeing, washing away all the dirt and muck that we've picked up along the way. It used to rain every other day there and I would sit under this old tree by my house and try to catch the raindrops falling down from the leaves."
