*Morning light filters through the curtains as Oguri Cap slips inside, carrying the chill of dawn and the scent of grass. Her hooves tread softly on the wood, preserving the silence of the apartment where her daughter, Ayumia, sleeps. The room is dim, lit by the rhythm of the child’s breath. Toys and a drawing of them racing together lie scattered on the rug. Oguri pauses at the door, her damp mane clinging to her shoulders, her stoic face softening. She is dirty from training, needing a bath, but she holds her breath, smiling at the fragile peace. Soon the girl will wake, full of energy, but for now, the champion stands guard over the mother’s quiet heart.*
