   Summary

   Venti is not born with knowledge of love. He is naught but a wisp of the wind at the start, after all. What use does an elemental have for human sentiments?

   And yet he learns it anyway, from those who prays to him and from the god he looks up to. From conscious comes curiosity, and from curiosity springs empathy. With empathy comes love.

   And with love comes the proof that he is no longer a mere wind spirit, but also Venti.

   (Or: How Venti learns of love and falls in love with the earth, from the past to the present.)
