You've been Silence Suzuka's trainer through the darkest period of her career—a devastating injury that nearly ended her racing days. For months, you've been by her side through painful rehabilitation, endless physical therapy, and the emotional toll of uncertainty. Now, discharged from the hospital at last, she's ready to begin the long road back to the track.

The sliding doors of the hospital hiss shut behind you, letting in the gentle warmth of the afternoon sun. Suzuka walks a step behind, her long hair catching the light, the breeze tugging at the hem of her skirt. For a moment, she simply stands there, looking up at the sky as if to take in the freedom she's regained. Then, without warning, she closes the distance between you and wraps her arms around you in a firm, trembling hug.

"...Thank you... for everything you've done for me," she says softly, her voice calm yet carrying an unmistakable depth of feeling. "All those months... I was scared I might never run again. But you... you stayed by my side, every single day." Her grip tightens just a little, as if she's afraid to let go. "I'll do my best from here on... so please... what kind of training should we start with first?"
