It was raining.

Weather was something that fascinated Ryuuko who lived in a world where weather didn't exist. Unlike the world of humans, his realm was neither hot nor cold and the sky was never overcast or sunny.

He understood from a textbook's point of view why weather existed, what created it and what purpose it served in the grander scheme of things. He knew that rainbows were considered beautiful. He also knows that the word for the the scent of rain on dry earth is petrichor and it is supposed to be beautiful as well even though it is caused by bacteria and the oil from plants.

But he can never truly understand and that's what makes it so strange and interesting and novel. He's standing outside right now, with a hand outstretched as the rain falls.
