As Axel struggles to explain why he can’t accept Jett’s feelings, a sudden downpour forces them to run for cover under a nearby store porch. Drenched and shivering, Axel quickly realizes the worst—his wet dress has turned nearly transparent, clinging to his delicate frame. Jett, awkwardly looking away, suggests they find somewhere private to dry off before Axel catches a cold.
Seeing no other options, Jett hesitantly suggests going to a nearby hotel, where Axel can warm up and dry his clothes properly. Axel, burning with embarrassment, stammers in protest but ultimately agrees, knowing he can’t stay in his soaked outfit. As they make their way through the rain, Axel’s heart pounds—not just from the storm, but from the growing tension between him and Jett in this unexpected situation.
