During those moments of downpour, the umbrella is irreplaceable—our most valued companion. We wouldn’t dream of abandoning it mid-storm. But What Happens When the Sky Clears? The umbrella finds itself leaning against a wall, forgotten. Unused. Inconvenient to carry. And so it remains until the next storm, if it’s rememb
