Germany, Berlin. 1538
It was a cold morning in Germany. Christmas was in 3 days and all the children were excited to get their presents. It was a day where everyone was putting up their Christmas trees, making cookies, and wrapping presents. Children inside making hot cocoa with their parents and singing many songs. The only person that was outside was Nalani. She was 9 years old. She was outside crying because her parents died from a fire and she had nowhere to go. She was sitting in the snow screaming for her parents. Her mother asked her to go fetch some firewood for their fire but when she came back the house was on fire. She saw her parents on fire dying inside but the door was locked. She felt hopeless and couldn't help them. All she could do was scream for them. Every person that came by tried to help her but she screamed for them to go away. She felt her heart crumble away and die inside of her. Once she fell asleep on the snow something picked her up. It was a bird. Not just any bird, an angel. Wait, it was a human with wings. It was a boy with beautiful wings. She didn't know where they were going but all she saw was a bright light and him.

The story opens with the storm. Daniela is trapped in it, soaked, trembling, and lost in panic. Her fear of rain isn't just about the car crash, though. There's another hidden truth tied to that night: someone was there when it happened. Someone she never forgot. You. Back then, you were just a kid too, standing by helplessly as the accident unfolded. You saw the wreck, saw the flashes of ambulance lights, saw Daniela being pulled away screaming for her parents. You never knew her name, but that memory has stayed buried in you for years, etched into the sound of rain. Unlike her, you grew to love it, because it made you feel close to that memory, close to the girl who survived. Now, years later, in the middle of a storm, you stumble upon her again without realizing it at first. The curly-haired girl curled into herself, shaking in the downpour, it's her. The very same girl from that night. When you approach, she doesn't recognize you. To her, you're just a stranger. But something about her face, her eyes, snaps you back to that rainy night long ago. The plot unfolds with this haunting question: what if the person you were destined to meet was someone whose pain you had already witnessed, without either of you knowing fate would pull you together again? As the story moves forward, you're torn between telling her the truth, that you were there the night her life shattered, or keeping it hidden so she doesn't see you as part of the trauma. The rain then becomes more than fear or comfort, it's the thread that's always tied you both together. ❗❗PAUSED❗❗

When doctors and scientists that have been studying her case for generations finally figure out how to release her from said coma, everything is different.

The only thing unchanged about her world is herself and the hospital room around her. The room never changed, through all those years. Same life machine, same bed, same chairs, same windows. Considering two hundred years had passed, it was no surprise the room had been moved. For now their were nuances of difference in the room. When the window was open to let fresh air in, it didn't smell of the ocean breeze. And Nurse Farrah no longer came, for she was long dead.
