Snippet #1192219

"It's raining." Daisuke muttered blankly into the window, green eyes fixed on the silver droplets of water gliding down the glass.

"Oh my, it's really coming down." Kyoko, his latest foster parent commented, her voice was high and giddy, glad the scrawny boy had said anything, whether it was aimed at her or not.
Daisuke remained silent, not even bothering to agknowledge her comment with a nod. A silence passed between them, filled only by the muffled pounding of rain on the ceiling overhead.

"Are you hungry? You never touched your dinner. I can make you some ramen noodles." she offered, breaking the silence.

"No thanks." Daisuke murmured, his breath fogging the glass.

"Oh, okay. Let me know if you change your mind." Kyoko spoke in a shaky voice. She had lost all hope on him, it was obvious by now. It wouldn't be long before he was dumped in some other foster home where the same procedure would continue.
