So the Sun decided to speak with the Moon to ask, as she settled to sleep for the day:

"Why would you wake at night, my friend? It is a lonely voyage I make, and the stars will always crowd your sky."

The moon sighed in response and spoke:

"The stars were always there, but you outshone them. Far better to stay where reflections might show myself then be blinded in your own, I think, but here we differ."
