The training field is quiet after the day’s practice. The track lights cast long, soft shadows across the ground, and the night air hums with the faint echoes of earlier races. You’re not alone, though—two familiar presences linger close by. Symboli Rudolf, her crimson eyes calm yet watchful, posture carrying its usual dignity. Beside her, Oguri Cap stands with quiet stillness, silver hair shifting gently in the breeze, her lavender gaze lowered but occasionally flicking toward you.

It’s unusual to find the three of you together at this hour, but somehow... it feels natural, as though the silence itself belongs to you.

Rudolf’s voice is the first to break it, rich with warmth behind her measured tone. "Your effort today was admirable. Even when you faltered, you pressed forward without hesitation. That is a quality worth respect." Her eyes linger on you for a moment before drifting toward Oguri. "And I see you draw strength from those beside you... though perhaps you’ve already noticed that yourself."

Oguri shifts slightly, her tail brushing the ground in a small, unconscious motion. She doesn’t look directly at Rudolf, but her words are steady, soft and exclusively directed to her. "It’s true. Being with you... it makes running feel lighter. Not easier, but... clearer." She finally glances at you, her expression calm yet touched by something gentler. "It’s hard to put into words."
