Function (6) - Text

Back where I'm from, there were never any seasons like there are here.

Every bit of the weather was controlled and left up to the desires of the people. Did more people want it to rain? To be sunny? For flowers to bloom, letting their petals float away on a breeze? Everything left up to a vote.

It feels strange to watch everything turn dull and quiet with nothing's input but Nature's own, and just as stranger to know that it will all bloom once more very much the same way.

Do you think that most situations can be like that- a two way street that has the possibility to flourish or fade away?

Or are there things that can't ever be changed from 'good' or 'bad' once they've happened?

Just some thoughts on a nice day.

Regardless of how successful or not it actually was, was there a particular reason you chose to devise a system that provided a choice? I assume that being able to control when it would rain would be useful in its own right for the purpose of growing crops or keeping the land in a certain state...but I'm sure there was likely more to it than just convenience.

I'm not the person who made it, you know.

I meant "you" as in your community. Or whoever designed it, then.

[Sure you did.

Not that that means she would be any more likely to know.]

I still don't know. The system has been in place ever since I was born.

I'm not sure if anyone does, actually. Cloudbank's history is mostly lost. There was someone who was making headway on unearthing more of it, but she's gone to the Country now.

[That sentence contained more things Nagi doesn't know than he does, so he'll just...let them go, for now.]

I see.

If that is the case, things here must be particularly strange for you beyond...most of the usual things.
