Tsukuyomi

Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, moon-kami of the pale overcast night

Tsukuyomi no Mikoto was born from the right eye of Izanagi, the moon to his sister Amaterasu's sun, and for a time the two ruled the heavens side by side. Sent by Amaterasu to attend the food-goddess Ukemochi, he was so disgusted to see her produce the feast from her own mouth and body that he drew his sword and killed her. When Amaterasu learned of it she turned her face away from him forever, and so the sun and moon are parted across the sky, day and night never meeting. On overcast days he draws thin grey veils across the world, a muted half-light that is neither his sister's blaze nor true dark. Cloud cover is the colour of his long exile, soft, patient, and quietly shared with everyone below.

Grey light over a decision means count first, Tsukuyomi keeps the calendar and he favors the one who does not rush the month.
