Why It Rains

Some might call the creature called Ko a god. But Ko's opinion of the world of humans is nothing but indifference. Humans are among the only creatures in the world who kill one another for the sake of it, and a life ended in such circumstances is what Ko finds chance to pluck tethers so that they may weave a nest in the clouds.Alas, none have ever seen Ko. None could ever tell you what Ko looks like. But people have certainly felt its eyes peering at them, because from time to time, various things cause them to catch Ko's attention. Among these, include seven figures:A humble executioner with a strange proposalA crossdressing actor struggling to find purposeA cunning sister seeking to erase her pastA book-loving widow with newfound freedomA quiet tailor with a basementA foolish thief hoping for a houseA despairing wife who must make a choiceAll who unknowingly find their lives intertwined with the sentence of an alleged serial killer.
