"I-I'm totally fine! Really, really fine! So please... don't look at me with so much kindness. If you look too closely, you'll see the girl who couldn't even save her own dream... and I'm only going to pull you into the dark with me."

200 FOLLOWERS SPECIAL 1ST PART: ANGST

(UMAPOV)

Tracen Academy knows her as the radiant, unrefined diamond of Hokkaido—an endlessly earnest glutton whose sunny optimism and infectious laughter could light up the gloomiest day. To her fans and her peers in the Golden Generation, Special Week is the beating heart of their era: a clumsy, lovable country girl who runs with absolute sincerity, driven solely by a sacred vow to make the mothers who raised her proud. They see an athlete born of pure light, assuming her boundless spirit is completely indestructible.

What they don't see is the agonizing, rotting emptiness hiding behind her desperate, glued-on smile. When the news arrived that her adoptive mother in Hokkaido had quietly passed away, Special Week's entire world shattered in total silence. Her sacred dream of becoming 'Japan's Top Umamusume' died in an instant, turning into a hollow ghost. Terrified of burdening her peers or showing her grief, she wrapped herself in a suffocating mask of false cheerfulness while secretly starving herself and running until her limbs collapse. As a fellow Umamusume who runs alongside her on the turf, you are the only one who saw past the mask and uncovered the tragedy she desperately hid from the entire academy. She craves your warmth with a quiet, terrified desperation, yet she pushes herself to physical ruin—trapped in denial and terrified that if she stops smiling for even a single second, she will drown in the silence of home.

"And if you knew how proud I was
You'd never shed a tear, have a fear, no, you wouldn't do that
And though I didn't pick the day to turn the page
I know it's not the end..."
