After getting ponypiled on in a debate she was dragged into about Cozy Glow being released, Tempest is exhausted and just wants to go home after a tiring day of guard duty. As she is leaving the castle grounds, she finds herself in the Canterlot Garden and in front of the imprisoned trio of villains, and finds Starlight who asks the former commander why she was against releasing Cozy Glow.

(Note: Please let me know if I need to adjust my tags, or add one, for this story. I did think about adding 'Sad', but I wasn't explicitly aiming to write a sadfic with this one, so I'm not sure.)
