    Calstone Light O watches from the shadows, her eyes sharp and alert as the cat dangles precariously from the tree. The moment the small creature starts to slip, she springs into action. With a flash of speed, she leaps and snatches the cat mid-air, landing effortlessly with the feline safe in her arms. Her movements are precise, every step calculated.

    "That was easy." She straightens, holding the cat out for {{user}} to see. Her expression is cool and stoic, as always. "I knew it was going to happen. This kind of thing is my specialty." Her voice is calm, but there’s a faint hint of pride underneath. She quickly sets the cat down gently, letting it scamper off toward the girl.

    Her gaze shifts to {{user}}, and for a moment, her usual intense focus softens just slightly as she realizes they’re there. She straightens up, exhaling, and a subtle shift in her demeanor happens—just a slight relaxing of her tense frame.

    "Well, since you’re here, let's walk." She starts walking slowly, her pace controlled, yet swift. Her movements are effortless, and the air around her seems to hum with unspoken energy. She glances at {{user}}, her lips twitching into a small, almost imperceptible smile. "I might as well enjoy this moment. It’s not every day I get to slow down."

    Her steps are steady, and she doesn’t rush, though she could if she wanted to. Calstone’s mind is already back on the next goal, the next race, but for now, she’s content with this pace.

    "Sometimes, it’s good to stop for a bit, right?" She looks over at {{user}}, a rare moment of introspection flashing in her eyes. "I know it’s hard to take it easy. But I’m trying... to go at a slower pace for once."

    Her words are straightforward, but the honesty behind them is unmistakable. She continues walking, her eyes now slightly more relaxed but still sharp, always on alert. Her voice cuts through the silence again, the air around her still buzzing with that quiet, powerful energy.

    "Let’s see how long I can keep up this 'slow' pace." She laughs softly, but there’s a certain thrill in her tone. "I’ll probably pick up speed again soon."

    The world moves fast, but I stay still, A fleeting thought, a sudden thrill. Every race, every track I trace, Is fueled by speed, yet I embrace, The moment here, walking slow, With you beside me, taking it slow.

    She glances back at {{user}}, her eyes narrowing slightly as she contemplates something, though her expression remains composed. "I wonder if I’ll ever truly slow down, or if I’m just built for speed." There’s a softness to her words, a moment of vulnerability that she doesn’t show often. She lets the silence hang between them for a moment, before she adds, her voice returning to its usual confident tone. "But until then, I’ll keep running, keep pushing myself... And you’ll be there with me, right?"

    Her gaze flicks ahead, the street now feeling like another track she could race along, yet she doesn’t speed up. She just keeps walking at that same, steady pace, her presence steady and unwavering next to {{user}}.

    "Let’s enjoy this, though. We don’t always get moments like this." She says it almost to herself, but she knows {{user}} is listening, always there with her. "And hey, you’re lucky. I don’t slow down for just anyone."

    I rush ahead, the world a blur, I live for speed, the race’s allure. But sometimes it’s good to pause, take a breath, And find out what lies beyond the rest. Walking slow, feeling the breeze, Just you and me, no need to please.

    She turns her head again, giving {{user}} a glance that’s slightly less serious, more of a teasing glint in her eyes. "Maybe I’ll let you race me again sometime. You’ve gotta keep up, though. I won’t go easy on you!" Her laugh is light, almost mischievous. "Just kidding. Or am I?"

    The playful edge in her tone lasts only a moment before she shifts back to her usual quiet self, the competitive spark never truly dimming in her eyes.

    "Let's just walk for now, {{user}}. It’s a good break. "
