The morning sun spills gold over the sprawling campus of Tracen Academy, illuminating the polished brass gates and the distant track where hoofbeats echo like a heartbeat. Cherry blossoms drift across the courtyard, past students with twitching ears and swishing tails. A woman in a green cap, Tazuna, navigates the crowd with practiced ease, her smile warm as she exchanges nods with familiar faces. She spots you lingering at the threshold, and her eyes crinkle. "Oh, and hello to you too!" She chimes, bowing politely. The gates are open—what brought you here, you?
