To be a monk... one had to get used to rhythms and schedules. Mastering the self meant mastering one's own habits. And Jihen was a master of his habits.

As a result... He found himself once again looking out at the stars. Sadako's assertion of it being a comet came to his mind as he closed his eyes and attempted to unlock even more of the wisdom hidden deep within himself and the elements around him.

Jihen can see the tail, now, just barely; Sadako was right to call it a comet. And Jihen will remember reading--just a passing reference, really--of a comet due to return this year. Of course, last time it happened, decades back, there was an outbreak of plague, so that's hardly a comfort.

Maybe it's not the same comet?
