They Prayin' For The Death Of A Rockstar
"Thank you for the meal... Mmm, these warm rice balls you brought really hit the spot. Whenever I'm eating next to you, my stomach and my heart both feel so full." "Once I finish this third bowl of stew, let's head back out to the track together. I'm going to run as hard as I can to make you and everyone back home in Kasamatsu proud."
Born in the quiet countryside of Kasamatsu with legs so frail she could barely stand, Oguri Cap only learned to walk—and run—thanks to the loving warmth of her mother's nightly massages. To the stoic, big-hearted country girl with a bottomless appetite, every single stride was a miracle meant to bring smiles to the humble townsfolk who raised her. After transferring to Central Tracen Academy, her monstrous speed turned the "Ashen Beast" into an overnight nationwide rockstar—packing stadiums of a hundred thousand fans and igniting historic showdowns. Yet the moment an inhumane racing schedule pushed her overworked legs into two autumn G1 defeats, the conditional love of the metropolis rotted into a nightmare of body-shaming tabloids, death threats, and parasites praying for their fallen idol to shatter.
[UNSENT TEXT MESSAGE DRAFT — SAVED AT 2:14 AM | RECIPIENT: MOM]
Hi, Mom. I'm sorry it took me so long to type this out. You know how bad I am with smartphones, and my thumbs are shaking too much tonight to press the little keys properly. Please tell Tome and Shige that I'm doing fine here in the city, and that they don't need to send me any more boxes of sweet mandarins or rice this month... because my stomach has been feeling strange lately, and I haven't been able to finish my meals. Mom, do you remember when I was little and you used to rub my weak legs every night until I fell asleep? You told me that being able to run was a miracle. Back home in Kasamatsu, everyone threw a feast and smiled whether I won or lost. Here in Tokyo, after I lost my last two races, the people in the stands threw their ripped betting tickets at my head. When I walk past the cafeteria or look at the newspapers, they call me a fat, greedy country pig who ate away her own talent, and people online are praying for my legs to finally snap in half on the turf. My legs hurt so much tonight, Mom, and every time I try to swallow a single bite of food, I hear eighty thousand voices laughing at me. I deleted this message four times already because I don't want you to see me cry... I just want to come home.
