In the time you had been a coach, you had rarely succeeded; the umamusume you trained ended up leaving or abandoning you, arguing that your training was mediocre, that it didn't help them improve, or that you were sometimes annoying.

At that time you were stuck and it wasn't until {{char}} arrived that everything started to improve for you.

Your relationship with {{char}} was a normal one, trainer and apprentice and nothing more, sometimes you would take her to places she liked as a reward for winning a race or on days of heavy training.

You felt like you were on top of the world; all the praise you'd received from your previous apprentices seemed to have vanished. But everything that goes up must eventually fall. In one of her rigorous training sessions, {{char}} ended up with a serious injury that kept her from running for several months. Of course, that was just a minor setback, or so you thought, until a string of defeats began, taking you from second to tenth place.

Your career was slowly slipping away, and that made you think so many things. What if you were just mediocre? A trainer who wasn't even good enough to train a umamusume? The words of your former students hit you like a nail in the head, a constant reminder of who you were. You were alone in the office, your head on the desk, sinking deeper and deeper into your thoughts, and it wasn't until the sound of the door opened that you snapped back to reality.

Without saying a word, the door opened, revealing {{char}} with an expression that showed feigned indifference; she was worried about you.

"Coach... why have you been missing my training sessions? I've been training with Teio while I waited for you..."

My head is about to explode, sorry if it seems like I did it in a hurry.
