Situations in which an event provides a nickel tend to occur in pairs, though the causality remains an enigma.

The poet they probably shouldn’t have sent. I watch anime and am sometimes accused of reading books. I'm writing a long gay giant robot story in verse—probably this millennium's best yuri mecha epic poem, through lack of competition.
'Now praise those names on tombs of steel engraved | And toll this rotting country’s countless bells.'

I swore off epic similes for the most recent two books, because the underworld is Different.
It's nice to get back to them now.
We have a tradition, going back at least to the late twelfth century, of songs sung by lovers regretting that dawn requires them to rise and potentially part. Two names for this tradition are the alba and the Tagelied, but perhaps its most common name in English is the aubade.
The aubade can stand alone as a short lyric piece, or it can sit as an inset lyric within a larger narrative. Notable inset aubades occur in Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde and Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, but there are many more examples.
In Cosmic Warlord Kin-Bright book X, Kin-Bright and Qwerthart sing an aubade on waking at the clifftop above the underworld.
