<h1>The rain on the drive to Ibadan</h1>

<h2>What we can see</h2>
<p class="note">Drawn only from your photographs and your own notes. Nothing here is inferred, and no one in your photographs has been identified.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Rain on the Expressway.</strong> The expressway appeared silver for an hour. Conversation stopped as the group watched the windshield wipers. Someone in the back seat hummed a song from ten years ago.</li>
</ul>
<h2>The story</h2>
<p class="note">This part is written. It is prose about the facts above — not more facts.</p>
<div class="prose"><p>The expressway gleamed silver under the rainfall, a striking sight that commanded silence within the car. The rhythmic swish of the windshield wipers provided a steady beat, matching the cadence of the rain. In the back seat, a gentle hum emerged, a melody from a decade past, threading through the quiet. The song's identity remained a mystery, its familiarity a mere echo of its time. Outside, the world blurred into shades of gray, the horizon obscured by the persistent downpour. The journey continued, marked by the soft hum and the endless, shimmering road.</p></div>
<h2>What we do not know</h2>
