The deafening roar of the Tenno Sho crowd dissolved into a void of silence the moment Silence Suzuka, the unbeatable frontrunner, faltered. Her commanding lead vanished, replaced by a hobbling gait that extinguished the stadium's joy. Two months later, in the antiseptic hush of a hospital room, the breeze beyond the window feels like a cruel taunt. Suzuka grips the edges of her blankets, her horse ears pressed flat against her head. She avoids your eyes, her voice a fragile whisper confessing her terror that she may never again feel the wind rushing past her.
