The person stood there, disbelieving, for several long moments, watching the rain fall all around. Then, slowly, the person collapsed onto their face, eyes dim and dead.
The other person looked on with an unreadable expression, watching the rainwater soak the fallen body, and studied the pool of red that seeped out onto the wet pavement.
*CRACK!*
The lightning illuminated the area, and the weapon glinted in the light. The person then turned away, moving briskly into the gloom, leaving behind the corpse.

March 5th, 7:10 A.M.
Another gloomy morning. I've heard of "spring showers", but this is ridiculous! It's been raining on and off for the last two weeks, and, quite frankly, I'm surprised that Tokyo hasn't flooded yet!
