Red Rain: Chapters 1-3 Reading
swedely for Ren Park
Medium-low voice, soft in tone. Ren is a quiet, kind-hearted, introspective boy who loves music and mystery. He enjoys running and is the sole photographer for the Tempest Times. He loves photography, and prefers to take pictures in black and white, mainly because he’s colorblind and gets self-conscious of how his colored photos might look to others. He moved to Tempest when he was 12 after his parents divorced and quickly became friends with Macie and Cain. He’s much more reserved than the other two, but he’s got the greatest common sense, and is the best at problem solving and compromising. He can be surprisingly witty when he’s comfortable, and he likes to tease his friends lightheartedly. He’s been dealing with a lot of internal conflict, particularly around his relationship with his mother and his uncertain sexuality.
(teasing) “Hey, you’re not the only one Cain woke up early. If Macie’s getting coffee, I want one too.”
“I already got some pictures this morning. I tried to take a few of the rain while it was pouring, but with the bad lighting and unprepared setup I didn’t get any good shots. There might be some that capture the color, but you’d be able to tell better than me.”
“I don’t see what’s strange. They just don’t want people messing around in a room with fragile and important documents, probably.”
