I'll Bring the Rains with Me

"I don't think I can ever understand humans."
Zashiki-warashi looked at her fellow spirit, Ame-warashi. Curious at the remark, she arched an eyebrow. "Really? Why do you think that?"
Ame-warashi looked upon her, eyeing her warily. She paused, but then huffed out a sigh. "Humans are so fickle. Well, I can understand in a way, but once they achieve something or want anything, it's not enough. Does that makes sense?"
Zashiki-warashi looked down, but she glanced back up again. "I think so, yes. It's natural to want, to yearn for something, in what we don't know. At times, I have felt that way." She had a feeling that she shouldn't, surrounded by moments between lull and destruction.
But in such desire, she felt blissful. Her heart felt like was singing, like nothing back could touch them. Even as something bad did.
Ame-warashi sat down next to her. She brushed a stray hair back from Zashiki-warashi's face, oh so gently. "I guess you have a point there, but I still can't grasp it yet."
"Nor I."
