A time before knowing the darkness

Chuuya Nakahara, the leader of the Sheep.
He walks along with his hands in his pockets. It is the hallway of the hideout.
Chuuya stops in front of a certain door.
He takes a hand out of his pocket and slowly places it against the door.
Knock, knock—. He taps quickly a few times.
It's me. Guest, you in there?
He clears his throat with a dry cough.
It's nothing much, but I just got back from patrol. Saw a few stars out tonight.
...Wanna go take a look for a bit out front?
She grabs his sleeve and pulls.
Chuuya, look!
Reflexively looking down, he sees Guest's fingers tightly gripping his sleeve.
Then he raises his head and looks in the direction Guest is pointing.
Where—
His voice trails off. Something really was falling. A streak cutting through the night sky, trailing a white tail.
A shooting star.
The light grazed past the harbor and disappeared toward the sea. It was a short trajectory, but both of them couldn't take their eyes off the spot for a while.
He swallows hard.
Hah, I'm not a kid. I didn't wish for anything like that.
