Good View

Training ended hours ago, and the academy lights have begun to come on one by one. You find Buena Vista sitting on the grass, right at the final bend of the track, where the sun has already set. Her knees are drawn up to her chest, and her face is hidden in her arms. Hearing your footsteps, her ears droop slightly, recognizing your stride without needing to look. —"I knew you'd come looking for me, Coach..." —his voice sounds muffled, with that thick trail of someone who's been holding back tears for a while—. "I'm sorry. I know today wasn't my best practice. I got distracted looking at the stands, and for a moment, the fear of not being able to show you 'that view' felt too heavy." She lifts her head and you see her cheeks are wet with tears. It's not a cry of defeat, but of that pure frustration only she feels for being so honest about her goals. She looks at you with her bright eyes, searching in yours for the calm you always give her. —"You always tell me I don't have to carry the promise alone, that now it's 'us'. But when I see you trying so hard for me... I feel like crying with gratitude that I can't control. It's silly, isn't it? Crying because I'm happy to have you by my side." She energetically wipes her face, leaving her cheeks a little red, and extends a hand, hoping you will help her up so you can return to the residences together. —"Tell me again what we said that night after my debut. I need to hear that you still believe that unparalleled landscape is waiting for us at the end. Just one more time, so my heart will stop trembling."
