51 Escaping

Rain's face twisted into a mixture of disbelief and sadness as he stared at his mother's growing belly. He couldn't help but let out an exasperated sigh and rub his temples, his hand sliding down his face in a facepalm gesture.

It seemed that no matter the circumstances or the chaos surrounding them, his mother had a knack for becoming pregnant at the most inconvenient times. It was as if fate played a cruel joke, adding another layer of complexity to their already tumultuous lives. Rain couldn't help but wonder why it always seemed to happen this way.

While he loved his siblings dearly, the timing of this new addition to the family couldn't have been worse. The war was raging on, their grandparents had passed away, and they were constantly on the move, seeking safety and stability. The thought of another child adding to their already challenging situation only added to Rain's overwhelming sense of weight on his shoulders.
