[Instrumental] [Act I — First Raindrops: A child eagerly watches the first gentle drops, excited to use a brand-new umbrella. Cheerful major-key innocence. Sparse irregular violin pizzicato, isolated droplets and silence. No storm, no thunder.] [Act II — Happy Walk: The child opens the umbrella and skips along the wet street. Close crisp tap-shoe footsteps bounce playfully among independent pizzicato drops. Rain grows gradually denser, bright major key.] [Act III — Sudden Cloudburst: Without warning the sky erupts. A terrifying thunder sheet crash, low orchestral clusters, brass, timpani and string tremolo; fast frantic footsteps running for shelter, relentless dense pizzicato rainfall. Dark, abrupt dramatic contrast, no lyrical melody.] [Act IV — Shelter: The child reaches the eaves and stops running. Footsteps halt. Thunder rolls away, orchestral tension dissolves; pizzicato rainfall becomes sparse. The harmony slowly brightens.] [Act V — Rainbow: Clouds part and sunlight reveals a rainbow. Tiny droplets drip from leaves and rooftops as isolated pizzicato notes; subtle celesta and glockenspiel sparkle. Gentle warm major key, charming and intimate, never grand.] [End: One last tiny pizzicato drop, then silence.]
