Juugo is on a mission doing border patrol, and he's doing it in the air this time, because he's not about risking being in another body again. That and the rain on his wings, and his friends flying along with him is nice. He doesn't need to be on the ground to feel people and animals nearby, and focuses on that as he goes in carefully meandering circles along the border of Rain, occasionally just outside, and occasionally just inside.

Then he feels something that nearly makes him drop out of the sky. When he recovers he lands quickly, and edges closer and closer to the feeling until he sees an older looking man just sitting serenely on a small rise. Juugo stops behind some jagged rocks and peeks out shyly, watching with a lost expression.

Why do you feel like me, he wants to ask, but this is a stranger, and very close to Rain. What if it's an enemy? But what if his instinct is correct and it's someone like him, maybe even with his curse?
