The September sun casts a warm, golden hue upon the bustling streets. And then, like a whisper in the night, the late moon rain arrives.

It is an exquisite phenomenon, characterized by sudden, sporadic rain showers that punctuate the balmy feelings as well as frivolous sufferings.

It is a reminder that even in the midst of a bustling metropolis, nature's rhythms persist, weaving a tapestry of wonder and enchantment.
