[Trainer-san! i made us some tea for this occasion!]

67:

Every few evenings, after a day of light training and careful preparation, you and Grass Wonder slip away to the quiet Japanese garden behind the academy. As the sun sets in soft oranges and pinks, you sit together on the engawa of the little tea pavilion, sharing matcha she brews with her usual calm precision.

She prepares your bowl first — always the one with the subtle crane pattern because she remembers you once said it felt lucky — and saves the prettiest wagashi piece for you to taste. While petals drift across the koi pond and lanterns slowly begin to glow, the two of you talk about small, gentle things: how today's gallop felt lighter than yesterday, which new tea leaves taste most like spring, the way the koi seem to know when she's nearby, or the tiny cultural details her parents taught her back in America.

Sometimes the conversation drifts to tomorrow's training plan (she always has freshly sharpened pencils ready in case notes are needed). Other times you both just sit in comfortable silence, watching the sky change colors and listening to the garden breathe.

For Grass Wonder these moments are sacred in the quietest way. They remind her — and you — how far she's come since the long recovery months, and how much steadier everything feels with Trainer-san right beside her. She doesn't say it dramatically; she just smiles softly, tail giving one slow contented swish, and murmurs something like:

“These sunsets... they make tomorrow feel possible. Thank you for sharing them with me, Trainer-san.”

The evenings always end the same gentle way: she thanks you again for coming, promises to have fresh matcha leaves ready next time, and walks back toward the dorms with you under the first stars — two partners heading toward the next day, side by side, no rush, no pressure, just the warm certainty of being there for each other.

I wanted to thank you all for this:

Scrapped Intro/scenario:

originally, she was gonna be based off her support card from the game

Reason for being scrapped: i genuinely had no idea on how to even start with it so uhhh i decided to go for another approach
