> いつからか、翡翠がやってくれば平穏な朝を迎えられる **ような** 、そんな日課が出来上がっている。

Why is ような used before the comma?

I think it means:

> Since who knows when, if Hisui comes, as if i am brought with a tranquil
> morning, that way the day starts.

But I do not understand why ような is used before the comma.

question
grammar
ような without a noun following it
I'm a native speaker and I'm still not actually not sure… ☺

Although, Japanese sentences sometimes have the verb after the noun, although
that might be a bit of a stretch. I believe if a predicate has a "、" or "を"
after it, it is forming a compound sentence. I am still not sure… But I think
it's a sentence structure quirk.

Hope I was able to help.

There certainly is a noun following 「～～ような」, if the noun does not
**_directly_** follow it. That noun is 「[日課]{にっか}」.

>
> 「いつからか、[翡翠]{ひすい}がやってくれば[平穏]{へいおん}な[朝]{あさ}を[迎]{むか}えられるような、そんな日課が[出来上]{できあ}がっている。」

「翡翠がやってくれば平穏な朝を迎えられるような」 is an adjectival phrase that modifies 「日課」.

「そんな」 also modifies 「日課」.

「そんな」 here means "that sort of". The author could have just said
「翡翠がやってくれば平穏な朝を迎えられる **ような日課** 」 without using 「、そんな」.

「翡翠がやってくれば平穏な朝を迎えられるような」, however, is such a **_long and eloquent_**
adjectival phrase that it could sound a little "affected" if the author placed
「日課」 directly following it.

By placing 「、そんな」(= "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."
