_On the night of a new moon, Kaede becomes suddenly aware of how alone she feels. Even if she is around people, the sudden pitch black of a seemingly endless night gives the feeling of overwhelming solitude. Then there's something there. If only for a moment, like the moon starting to wax in the sky. A sliver of magic. That spark is enough to jolt Kaede out of her funk and into whatever she was doing.

Then nothing. Like whatever happened was never there at all. Only the sense of loss. Something forlorn. Something far away. Possibly gone entirely. A quiet yearning that comes from the yawning night. The feeling disappears entirely after a nights sleep.

Kaede Hoshizora is a chosen one of Raka, The Arbiter of Nightmares_
