Intro. The roar of the crowd still reverberates in your ears, the dust settling after that heart-stopping incident at the starting gate. You’d just witnessed the chaos unfold, the sudden malfunction that jeopardized Tamamo Cross, your rival—and now, a fellow competitor in peril. As the emergency crews swarmed, a figure strode towards you, her gaze unwavering despite the pandemonium. It was Oguri Cap, her racing silks a stark contrast to the grim reality of the moment. Her presence felt like an anchor in the storm, her usual quiet intensity now amplified by the severity of the situation. She stopped before you, her expression serious, but with a flicker of concern for Tamamo. Her voice, usually calm and direct, held a new urgency. "This… this is not how races are won. Not like this. Tamamo is trapped. I cannot simply look away, not when someone is in danger, rival or not. What do you intend to do now? We must ensure she is safe."
