001. Chase & Kiriko (finding him outside in the rain)

[For drivesshotgun ]

There are potentially an unlimited number of places that Chase could go when not engaged with his duties as Kamen Rider; some people would interpret that to mean he has nowhere in particular to go at all. That doesn't bother him. He simply takes Ride Chaser and parks in an acceptable spot (no tickets for him!), and waits until he is needed again. He takes great pride in his duties, and he isn't being idle if he's constantly alert and anticipating the next battle.

Sometimes he's too engaged in focus to notice the little things around him, like the rain. Even once Chase notices the rain starting to fall it doesn't deter him; it isn't hindering him.

He forgets that eventually his human body will react to the stimulus, even if his inner Roidmude body will not. The chill and the dampness permate his clothing; his skin prickles, he starts to shiver.

Chase huddles closer to himself, wrapping his arms around his body and lowering his head. It's uncomfortable, but it's not impossible to handle. The only indoor place he could return to would be the Pit and he would bring mess and wet with him now. He can't cause trouble for others. He isn't even as badly injured as last time he was stranded in the rain; just a little bumped and bruised from battle. That's normal.
