Following 2B's gaze, 9S tilts his head upwards to look up at the night sky. He can't see much, of course, and flinches when some of the raindrops fall onto his face and run into his eyes.

"This must be rain," he says in wonder, holding out both of his hands so the water can soak into his gloves. "It's precipitation from the condensation of water due to atmospheric pressure. Humans would use tools called 'umbrellas' to shield themselves from it. Apparently getting wet from rain was something humans avoided, but records don't say why."

But he makes no move to leave the balcony, instead his gaze returning to 2B.

"2B, I..." 9S worries at his lower lip. How to put his feelings into words? Instead, he reaches for 2B's visor. "Can I?"

Pull it off, so he can see her eyes.
