Echoes in the Rain

The scene sets in a dimly lit alleyway amidst a heavy downpour. Emma is striding forward, rain pelting down on her, with her coat pulled tightly around her. Her feet make splashing sounds as they hit the puddles on the ground. The alley is narrow with old brick walls on both sides. The slight neon glow from a distant sign barely illuminates her determined expression.

Rain had a way of drowning out the echoes of yesteryears, but today, the world seemed louder despite it.

There was no time to grasp what had unwound, only the urgency of the next moment.

Medium shot of Emma as she hears Peter’s voice. She halts and turns slightly, revealing her soaked state. Peter is in the background, his figure appearing through the rain, his hand reaching out towards her. Despite the downpour, both are fixed on each other.

'Emma!' Peter’s voice cut through the cacophony, grabbing her from her thoughts like a lifeline.

A flicker of resolve passed through her eyes. She extended her hand, revealing the glint of a small, worn locket.
