Decided to re-read Gentle Rain…it has been a while…

For the love of god, will you bloody well sit still!”

Kayo frowned.

“I need to-“ Scott. That was Scott.

“If you don’t stop moving, I will knock you out, you hear me?” It was a threatening tone. Kayo attempted to force her eyes open. They moved, but flickered closed again.

“Please, she’s my sister.” That sent alarm bells ringing. What the hell? Scott’s voice hurt. “Virgil...” Virgil! She struggled against the weight drawing her down. Virgil? Where was Virgil?

There was dust in her nose.

“Your sister is okay. It is you who you should be worried about. Sit still.”

“But-“

“What do you think your sister will do to you if you haemorrhage attempting to get to her? What do you think she will do if you go and die on her simply because you’re being a stupid ass and won’t sit still?

There was no answer. Scott? Virgil?

Her eyes opened only to encounter blur. Grey blur. “S-Scott?” That was her voice?

“Kayo!”

“God damnit, if you undo what little I’ve managed to do, I’ll kill you myself!”

Gentle Rain

[adventuresofalgy]

The weather birds had told Algy that on Saturday there would be heavy rain all day, but once again they were mistaken, because for much of the day there was in fact only the lightest, slightest drizzle of rain, and at times it was even possible to see a very wet and fuzzy-looking misshapen sort of white sun in the sky.

Tucked happlily under his rainbow umbrella, Algy revelled in the way that the bright colours tinted his feathers when some light managed to shine through the coloured panes of fabric, and in the fact that although the sun was not bright enough to create a real rainbow in the sky, he would be able to enjoy his own personal rainbow all through the day…

Despite the wet weather there was still plenty of blossom on the Great White Cherry trees, and Algy could still hear the buzzing of bees among the flowers, albeit rather reduced now, as only the boldest of the bumblebees were bumbling about in this weather.

And he could also hear the gentle, slow pitter-patter of the tiny rain drops as they fell on his umbrella – spit… spot… spit… spot…, very quietly and without the slightest haste – and as he listened to the soothing sound Algy recalled:

A Drop fell on the Apple Tree – Another – on the Roof – A Half a Dozen kissed the Eaves – And made the Gables laugh – A few went out to help the Brook, That went to help the Sea – Myself Conjectured were they Pearls – What Necklaces could be – The Dust replaced, in Hoisted Roads – The Birds jocoser sung – The Sunshine threw his Hat away – The Bushes – spangles hung – The Breezes brought dejected Lutes – And bathed them in the Glee – The Orient put out a single Flag, And signed the Fete away –

[Algy is thinking of the poem Summer Shower by the 19th century American poet Emily Dickinson.]

❄️ Rain & Snow on a Cozy Winter Night 🌧️☕

Escape into a peaceful winter evening where gentle rain falls through fresh snow, a light breeze drifts through the quiet streets, and the warm glow of a cozy café lights up the night.

Whispers of the Rain 💧🌧️🌦️🌈

The sky is draped in silver-gray,

Soft clouds drift and fade away.

A hush before the first drop falls,

Then whispers echo through the halls.

The rooftops dance in rhythmic tune,

A melody beneath the moon.

Puddles shimmer, rivers weave,

As leaves embrace the tears they grieve.

The air is thick with earthy scent,

A gift from skies so kindly lent.

Windows mist with stories told,

Of secrets shared and hands to hold.

Beneath the storm, the world unwinds,

A moment’s pause for restless minds.

For in the rain, the heart is free,

To dream, to heal, to simply be.

Gentle Rain

I have listened to this song dozens, if not hundreds of times. It never fails to bring me peace, even in my hours of greatest distress. May it do the same for you on this most fraught night.

Something about the earlier genshin soundtracks reminds me of what it's like to be held by someone that truly cherishes you
