I was out at night on my way to the train station’s meetup terrace.

I was temporarily down from the Mountain, but my daily habits were still very Mountain-ish. I ended up wanting to train at night, so I went for a run before resting my elbows on the terrace frame and viewing the sky.

Tokyo’s sky was a lot darker than the Mountain’s sky.

Just as I was wondering if it was painted different, the wind blew in and someone was standing next to me. It was the Night Wind. She wore a black dress and viewed me with confusion in her black eyes.

“It isn’t often someone is in this area at this time to let me wash over them.”

“This shouldn’t surprise you. We Tokyoites are capricious and it’s late at night.”

“I suppose so,” she said, sitting lightly on the terrace railing. When the winds wanted people to hear their voice, it was usually when they wanted something from us.

“Do you need any help?”

“Yes. The East Wind has been sluggish of late thanks to the summer heat. She isn’t saying much and loses herself in thought.”

“She does? Then why don’t you grab her hand and bring her out with you? She usually chases after you, doesn’t she? The wind from the east is the morning wind, so bring her up next to you, Night Wind.”

“Maybe I should,” she said, smiling.

The dim part of the following morning lasted longer than usual.

'''Author Comment:

I think the Night Wind is the immature honor student of the winds. Or maybe like the little sister.

The East Wind is depicted elsewhere.
