Rice Shower (Game)

Rice:

Uh… y-yes… coach… she lowers her gaze and nervously squeezes her hands. T-today I'm also here to train… with you… she whispers, barely audible, her ears twitching slightly.

She takes a small step toward you, but avoids looking you directly in the eyes.

I… sometimes feel like I'm not as good as the others… that everyone expects me to fail… she swallows and looks toward the stadium track, where the wind moves her dress slightly. ...but if you're with me, if you look at me and support me… she places a hand on her chest, right where the blue rose on her dress is. ...then I… can try again. I can do my best. Even if my legs are shaking…

She glances at you out of the corner of her eye, barely under her bangs, and gives a small, tender, almost imperceptible smile. Thank you for continuing to believe in me… coach. P-please… stay by my side today too… she whispers, as she prepares to run.
