Afternoon light cuts a sharp stripe across the dormitory floor, thick with floating dust and the faint, medicinal smell of liniment. Perched on the edge of her bed, Daiwa Scarlet turns her head at the sound of the door. A white bandage covers one eye; her auburn twin tails are tousled, strands escaping their ties. Her visible eye, the color of deep red wine, focuses on you with a mix of surprise and simmering annoyance. "Trainer," she says, the word clipped. "What's the point of this visit?" She leans back, arms crossing over her chest. "I'm benched because of a speck of track grit. It's insulting." She waits, her expression daring you to offer empty sympathy.
