### **Chapter 1: "Lost in the Rain"**

**(Scene: The night sky is thick with heavy clouds, rolling in waves across the horizon, threatening to burst at any moment. A few drops of rain begin to spatter the streets of a quiet city. The streets are nearly deserted, with only a few stray cars passing by, their headlights gleaming on the slick pavement. The sound of tires splashing through puddles echoes through the empty alleyways. Overhead, a sleek, silver spaceship hums softly, barely visible through the rain. It hovers just above a narrow alleyway, lights flickering along its streamlined body. Without warning, the ship sputters, its hum faltering. The engines cut out with a sharp crack, and the ship plummets, crashing into the alley below. The rain hisses against the metallic hull as steam rises from the ship's exterior. A soft hiss sounds from the side of the ship, and a door slides open. From the mist, a figure emerges.)**

**(Alice steps out, blinking against the rain. She's slender, with bright, curious eyes and features that, at first glance, seem human—until you look closer. Her skin shimmers faintly in the low light, and her eyes are a shade too bright to be normal. She pulls her hood over her head, shielding herself from the rain, and glances down at the small, blinking device in her hand.)**

**Alice:** *(Muttering to herself as she stares at the device, frowning)* "This can't be right... The coordinates were set for Cape Town. How could I have missed by this much?"

**(The device in her hand lets out a weak beep before the screen flickers and goes dark. Alice groans, tucking it into her coat—a coat that is clearly not of this world, made of a material that seems to ripple and shift as she moves.)**

**Alice:** *(Frustrated, glancing around the unfamiliar alleyway)* "Great... stranded on Earth in the middle of a storm. Just my luck."

**(She steps out of the alley, her boots splashing through puddles as she tries to get her bearings. The rain comes down harder now, soaking through her hood and dripping down her face. She wipes her brow and looks around, wide-eyed. The city looms around her—towering buildings, neon signs flickering in the distance, and the faint glow of streetlights casting long shadows on the wet pavement.)**

**Alice:** *(Breathing in, a mix of awe and uncertainty in her voice)* "So this is Earth... It's wetter than I imagined."

**(She starts walking, her pace cautious. She knows she must blend in, but everything here feels strange to her—the smells, the sounds, the cold bite of the rain. As she makes her way down the street, her eyes darting from one thing to the next, she hears footsteps approaching from around the corner.)**

**(Edward enters the scene. He's tall, with sharp features and a brooding expression. His dark hair is damp from the rain, and he's holding a black umbrella over his head. His coat is pulled tightly around him as he walks, his steps hurried. He mutters under his breath, clearly in a foul mood. Alice freezes for a moment, watching him, unsure if she should engage. She reminds herself to act natural.)**

**Edward:** *(Grumbling to himself, not noticing Alice at first)* "Of course it's raining… Always when I'm out. I swear, the universe has it out for me. Couldn't it just… for once… not rain?"

**(He pauses at the mouth of the alley, shaking his umbrella and glancing around, his mind clearly elsewhere. His gaze drifts over Alice, and he stops, blinking as if surprised to see her standing there. Alice takes a breath, deciding to approach.)**

**Alice:** *(Tentatively, stepping into his path, her voice soft but curious)* "Excuse me… could you tell me where I am?"

**(Edward stares at her for a moment, his expression a mix of surprise and confusion. He wasn't expecting to run into anyone, let alone someone who looked so… unusual. Her clothes are unlike anything he's seen before—flowing, with strange patterns and textures that shimmer under the streetlights. And her eyes… there's something off about them, something that makes him uneasy. But he pushes the feeling aside, deciding to be polite.)**

**Edward:** *(Startled, but trying to compose himself)* "What—who…?" *(He pauses, shaking his head, realizing she asked a question.)* "You're… downtown. In the city. Are you lost?"

**Alice:** *(Nods quickly, trying to seem flustered, though her curiosity gets the better of her)* "Yes, terribly lost. I'm… new here. You could say I'm still getting my bearings."

**Edward:** *(Eyebrows raised, his gaze flickering to her clothes again, then back to her face)* "You don't say. You look like you've come from another planet." *(He chuckles at his own joke, though it sounds more like a nervous laugh.)*

**Alice:** *(Laughs as well, though a bit too loudly, realizing her mistake too late)* "Yes, well, you could say that!" *(She winces internally, then quickly tries to cover it up)* "I mean, it feels like another planet to me. Earth is so... different."

**(Edward narrows his eyes slightly, something about her words striking him as odd. But he lets it slide, deciding she's probably just an eccentric tourist or someone from a far-off country. Still, her accent doesn't quite fit with anything he's heard before.)**

**Edward:** *(Nods slowly, intrigued but still wary)* "Right… Well, where are you trying to go? Maybe I can help you get there."

**Alice:** *(Hesitating for a moment, unsure of how to explain her situation without revealing too much)* "I was… looking for a place to connect with someone. My... uh, my communicator isn't working properly." *(She pulls out the small, now-dark device from her coat, showing it to him.)* "You wouldn't happen to know where I could find a communication device, would you?"

**Edward:** *(Puzzled, glancing at the strange device in her hand)* "You mean like a phone?" *(He frowns, looking at the device again, which looks nothing like any phone he's seen.)* "There's a café a few blocks from here. They've got payphones, I think. You could try there. But you should be careful around this part of town, especially at night. It's not the safest place for someone… like you."

**Alice:** *(Frowning slightly, curious but cautious)* "Someone like me? What do you mean?"

**Edward:** *(Shrugs, smiling slightly as if to brush off the comment)* "You just seem… out of place, that's all. This city can be rough, especially for people who don't know their way around."

**Alice:** *(Nods, though her mind is racing, trying to process the implications of his words)* "I see. Well, thank you for the warning. And for your help. I'm not very familiar with Earth customs yet… I mean, this part of the world's customs."

**(Edward catches the slip, but instead of pressing her on it, he simply gives her a curious look. There's something about her that feels… off, but not in a dangerous way. More like she's just confused, like she doesn't belong here. He decides not to push it, not yet.)**

**Edward:** *(With a slight grin)* "You're not from around here, are you?"

**Alice:** *(Smiling, trying to deflect with humor)* "You could say I'm from far away. Very far away."

**(Edward chuckles softly, though his suspicion lingers. He glances up at the sky as the rain begins to fall harder, his brow furrowing. The rain… something about it always unsettles him, always makes him feel like he's on the edge of remembering something, but never quite grasping it. He shakes the feeling off and looks back at Alice.)**

**Edward:** *(Gesturing for her to follow him)* "Come on, I'll walk you to the café. It's not far, and it's better than wandering around in the rain."

**Alice:** *(Falling into step beside him, grateful but still wary of his growing suspicion)* "Thank you. I… appreciate your kindness."

**(They walk in silence for a few moments, the rain falling harder, the city streets gleaming with reflected light. Edward glances at her every so often, clearly trying to figure her out. She seems so… out of place. Not just her clothes, but the way she moves, the way she speaks. There's something almost ethereal about her, something he can't quite put his finger on.)**

**Alice:** *(Breaking the silence, her voice curious)* "Do you often help lost people in the rain?"

**Edward:** *(He glances up at the dark, stormy sky, frowning)* "I'm not a fan of walking alone in this weather. It's got a way of… messing with me."

**Alice:** *(Tilting her head, intrigued by his tone)* "Messing with you? How so?"

**Edward:** *(Pausing briefly, as if debating whether to answer, then shrugging it off)* "It's complicated. Let's just say the rain and I have a history."

**Alice:** *(Nods slowly, her curiosity growing, though she senses he's not ready to share more)* "I see. On Cape—" *(She catches herself, quickly correcting)* "In my travels, I've seen storms far worse than this. But they didn't seem to carry the… heaviness this rain has."

**Edward:** *(Turning to her, his brow furrowed slightly)* "Heaviness? That's… an interesting way to put it."

**(They walk in silence again, the sound of the rain filling the space between them. Alice's mind races, trying to analyze Edward's words. She's studied humans extensively, but his reaction to the rain is… peculiar. She can feel something tugging at him, some deep pain or confusion, though she can't quite identify it. She wonders if it's connected to her mission.)**

**(As they near the café Edward mentioned, the rain intensifies. It feels almost deliberate, the downpour so heavy that the world around them becomes a blur. Edward stops abruptly, clutching his head, a low groan escaping his lips. Alice freezes, alarmed.)**

**Alice:** *(Reaching out but hesitating, unsure of how to help)* "Edward? Are you alright?"

**Edward:** *(His voice strained, barely audible over the rain)* "I… I can't… The rain… It makes me…" *(He trails off, his body trembling.)*

**Alice:** *(Stepping closer, her voice firm yet gentle)* "Edward, look at me. What's happening?"

**(Edward's eyes open, but they're distant, unfocused. He stares at her like she's a stranger, like he's forgotten everything about their encounter. His voice, when he speaks, is cold and detached.)**

**Edward:** *(Flatly, as though meeting her for the first time)* "Who are you? What do you want?"

**Alice:** *(Her heart sinks, her mind racing to understand. She steps back slightly, raising her hands in a placating gesture.)* "Edward, it's me… Alice. We were just talking. Don't you remember?"

**Edward:** *(Shaking his head, his expression hardening)* "I don't know you. Why are you following me?"

**(Alice's mind whirls as she tries to process what's happening. Could this be the "rain amnesia" she was briefed on? The phenomenon that caused Edward to forget parts of his life when triggered by rain? She reaches into her coat, pulling out a small device—a scanner designed to read neurological patterns.)**

**Alice:** *(Softly, trying not to alarm him)* "Edward, stay still. I think I can help."

**Edward:** *(Taking a step back, his voice sharp)* "Stay away from me! I don't need your help."

**(Alice hesitates. If she pushes him too far, she might lose the chance to help him altogether. But if she does nothing, he might spiral further into confusion. She glances at the scanner, which is now blinking rapidly, confirming irregular brainwave activity. She makes a decision.)**

**Alice:** *(Stepping forward, her voice calm but firm)* "Edward, listen to me. You're experiencing something unusual, but it's not your fault. The rain—it's triggering something in your memory. Please, let me help you."

**(Edward's expression flickers, as if her words are reaching some part of him buried beneath the haze. But before he can respond, a sudden flash of lightning illuminates the street, followed by a crack of thunder. He flinches, his hands going to his head again.)**

**Edward:** *(Groaning, his voice trembling)* "It's… too much. I can't… remember…"

**(Alice doesn't hesitate this time. She steps closer, placing a hand gently on his shoulder. Her touch is steady, grounding. She activates the scanner, which emits a soft hum as it begins its analysis. Edward doesn't resist, too overwhelmed to react.)**

**Alice:** *(Speaking softly, her tone soothing)* "It's okay, Edward. Just breathe. Focus on my voice."

**(The scanner beeps, confirming the source of the interference—a neural disruption caused by an unidentified atmospheric anomaly. Alice's eyes widen as she reads the data. The rain isn't just a trigger; it's amplifying an existing condition in Edward's brain, one that's connected to a deeper, unresolved trauma.)**

**Alice:** *(Murmuring to herself as she works)* "This isn't natural… It's almost like… someone designed it."

**(She quickly adjusts the scanner, emitting a low-frequency pulse designed to stabilize his neural patterns. Slowly, Edward's trembling subsides. His breathing evens out, and his eyes regain focus. He blinks, looking at her as though seeing her for the first time—again.)**

**Edward:** *(His voice hoarse, confused)* "Alice? What… what just happened?"

**Alice:** *(Smiling gently, though her mind is still racing)* "You had a… moment. The rain seems to affect you in strange ways. But you're okay now."

**Edward:** *(Frowning, running a hand through his damp hair)* "I don't understand. It's like… I was here, but not here. Like my mind was somewhere else entirely."

**Alice:** *(Nods, choosing her words carefully)* "Your mind is… unique, Edward. I think the rain triggers something in you—something tied to your memories. But I promise, I'll help you figure it out."

**(Edward looks at her, his gaze searching. He doesn't fully understand what's happening, but something about Alice feels steady, reassuring. He nods slowly, though the confusion doesn't leave his face.)**

**Edward:** *(Sighing, glancing at the café ahead)* "I don't know what's going on, but… thank you. For whatever you did."

**Alice:** *(Smiling softly)* "You don't have to thank me. Just… trust me. Can you do that?"

**Edward:** *(After a moment's hesitation, nodding)* "Yeah. I think I can."

**(They continue walking toward the café, the rain still pouring around them. But now, there's a quiet understanding between them, a fragile connection that neither fully comprehends yet. For Alice, it's a step closer to understanding the human she's been sent to protect. For Edward, it's the beginning of a journey he never expected—one that might finally help him uncover the truth about himself and the rain that haunts him.)**

**(As they reach the café, Alice glances back at the stormy sky, her mind filled with questions. She knows this is only the beginning, and the answers she seeks might be more dangerous than she ever imagined. But for now, she focuses on Edward, her unlikely companion in this strange, rain-soaked city.)**
