Now he has secretly moved back to Canterlot to find out what he wants to do with his life back in Equestria while privately living in Canterlot Castle.

The two have started to meet there regularly when it rains, but Spike wonders what could possibly have happened to the mare he loves to bring her to such a cold state.
Story based on the 2012 Makoto Shinkai anime film, The Garden of Words. If any of you haven't seen the movie that this story is based on, I strongly suggest that you find a way to watch it. It's a terrific film that has become one of my favorite movies of all time.
