The thunderstorm began without warning, shaking the pre-dawn silence with lazy flashes of lightning. You were about to fall asleep when you heard: three weak knocks on the door. Not one more.

Because at that very moment he collapsed. — **Haruchiyo!** You shouted, catching him in midair before his head hit the floor.
