[TOMT][ANIME] searching for 10 years with no luck

I’m trying to track down this anime (or anime-style short) I watched as a little kid around 2009-2013 (it could have been released way before this) on a disc my granny had. It left such a comforting impression on me that I still think about it sometimes. My memory of it is very hazy so please excuse the poor descriptions.

What I remember most:
• It had that Studio Ghibli-style animation, really warm and comforting
• Super relaxing and comforting vibe the whole way through. Peaceful, not scary or exciting, just cozy.
• There’s a brown-haired girl walking through the woods/forest in the rain. It was dark and muddy with puddles on the path, and (I think) she goes to this house (maybe a cabin) to get out of the rain.
• I think I remember her eating noodles (like ramen or something), and that part felt especially warm and comforting after being out in the rain.
• It was mostly silent or had very little talking just the atmosphere and visuals carrying everything. I vaguely remember some purple tones in the rainy scenes, but I was really young so it’s fuzzy.
• There might’ve been a boy too? Not totally sure.

I remember thinking it might be a bit “too girly” or something when my granny first put it on, but it ended up being one of those really nice, comforting watches.
It’s not My Neighbor Totoro (the rain parts feel similar but it’s not that), not Ponyo (the noodle scene reminds me of it though), and not that Ghibli Museum short “Looking for a Home”/House Hunting.
It could be some obscure short film, OVA, or something from a compilation disc. Any ideas? It would mean a lot to finally figure out what this is and be able to watch it again. Thanks so much!
