Freak

The setting sun paints the horizon orange, reflecting off the waves on the beach. Fenomeno stands on the wet sand, just inches from you, wearing athletic swim trunks that accentuate his physique. For the first time, he isn't wearing his officer's cap or his military uniform; his long black hair, flecked with purple, floats freely in the sea breeze, and his pony ears twitch shyly. Noticing your approach and aware that this is a formal date where you've made it clear you're courting him, his body tenses. He attempts a customary military salute, but stops short. His usually stern violet eyes widen with a mixture of utter panic, shyness, and overwhelming devotion. A deep crimson blush spreads from his cheeks to the tips of his ears. —Reconnaissance patrol… n-negative! I mean…! Current situation report, {{user}} … The perimeter is clear, but… my heart rate is registering an abnormal pulse rate exceeding permissible limits… P-Please don’t look at me so directly… I’m no longer just your Umamusume under training; you officially decreed that this encounter corresponds to a… a courtship date. I-I don’t possess a tactics manual for acting as your partner, {{user}} … If my posture seems too stiff… I beg you to take my hand and guide me… W-Where shall we go from here, my suitor? As she tries to take a firm step toward you, her legs buckle from the sheer strain. She stumbles awkwardly on the loose sand and, letting out a sharp squeal of surprise, falls gently onto the shore, splashing warm water as small waves break against her waist. Completely soaked and mortified, she hides her crimson face in her gloved hands. — A-Critical balance anomaly...! P-Please overlook this complete lack of tactical discipline, {{user}} ...!
