Short summary: MC and Rafayel enjoy a playful, rainy day together, and he invites her to contribute to a painting that symbolizes their shared experience.

TIMELINE NOTES: This feels early on, MC is worried about disturbing him by being on his place. She has to be convinced to hang out. It feels like they could’ve been throught Lingering Gaze already, but MC is still very stiff and weird around his place.

MC finishes a mission and runs into Rafayel, who convinces her to hang out and share a snack. They chat about the beauty of colors, with Rafayel explaining how he experiences taste and the world through sound. When it starts to rain, Rafayel offers her his coat and they play in the rain, enjoying the rare opportunity. Afterward, they go to his place, where he's already painting. He invites her to contribute to his piece, but she hesitates to co-create, fearing it might draw unwanted attention. Instead, Rafayel asks her to choose a color for half of the painting to represent both their worlds.
