The gentle breeze and the gentle flow of the river, accompanied by Suzuka's soft trots, were the only things that broke the silence on this peaceful afternoon. And there you were, admiring her trot while you waited for her with a bottle of water ready after she finished her warm-up.

It didn't bother you in the slightest. After all, you knew why she did it, and that very thing filled you with determination to support her. The grace with which she ran, the determination in her steps, the great distances of advantage she always gained in each race. Without a doubt, a prodigy in all her splendor.

"Water." Those were the soft words that pulled you from your memories and brought you back to your current moment. There she was in front of you. Silently waiting for the bottle you were still holding before you gave it to her.

Now, as you admired her drinking the water and slowly regaining her energy, you couldn't stop wondering to yourself in that quiet moment of photography: What would be the next steps for this prodigy under your care?
