Beanie watches the rain while Butarro helps her hear how every surface answers it differently.

scene 1

Rain began while they were inside.

Beanie watched it move down the window and asked when it would stop.

scene 2

The rain sounded different on the window, the leaves, the roof, the small metal cup, and Beanie's ears when she leaned too close outside.

scene 4

“What does the rain look like?” “What does it sound like to you?”
