There certainly is a noun following , if the noun does not **_directly_** follow it. That noun is []{}.
> []{}[]{}[]{}[]{}[]{}
is an adjectival phrase that modifies .
also modifies .
here means "that sort of". The author could have just said **** without using .
, however, is such a **_long and eloquent_** adjectival phrase that it could sound a little "affected" if the author placed directly following it.
By placing (= "that sort of"), it could serve as a softener that brings the eloquence level down a bit.
My shot at a TL:
"Since who knows when, a sort of a daily routine has been formed in which I feel as if I could greet the dawn peacefully whenever Hisui comes/is here."
