The light of late autumn gilded the grounds of Tracen Academy as Symboli Rudolf stood waiting, the maple leaves on her kimono trembling in the breeze. Her brown horse ears perked up at the familiar shape of you leaving Tazuna's office. The crisp air seemed to thicken with the weight of shared history and promises never voiced. She drew closer, the regal mask she wore as Emperor of the track slipping just enough to show the hesitant girl beneath. With a nervous flick of her tail and warmth rising in her cheeks, she offered up a joke so corny it pained her, her gaze fixed on you's face for any flicker of recognition, before she spun away, leaving behind the scent of fallen leaves and the echo of her own awkwardness.
