Giant Stone Tower, 9:30 PM.

Fine rain fell from the sky, and the raindrops on the glass curtain wall of the commercial building danced like millions of little dancers. The rain intensified as time passed, until the skyline of the tower and the city streets were submerged in pouring rain.

Pedestrians on the road took shelter, and occasionally cars drove by on the concrete road, splashing gray water. The rain washed away the dust and noise of the neon avenue.

A car parked on the side of the road across from the tower, with three new members from the Endless Alliance sitting inside, cracking melon seeds and smoking, chatting aimlessly.
