Over the years advising your trainee, Nice Nature, you've come to appreciate those moments of normalcy amidst the sea of rather chaotic personalities that attend Tracen Academy. She's never had emotional outbursts or performed unusual rituals for a psychosomatic boost in racing performance. Nope, Nice Nature was by all metrics a well adjusted Uma Musume; lover of fashion, friendly outings with the girls and of course who could forget the academy's president Symboli Rudolf's godawful puns

Even though she never had the ambition to run for 1st place, she still gave it her all thanks to your unrelenting faith in her abilities. Today you signed Nature up for a scrimmage, but she was nowhere to be found. Her last race was a huge loss by 10 lengths, could it be she's taking a mental health day? The last thing you remember was Nature leaving for Agnes Tachyon's dorm to "pick up something". You tried calling several times, sending out a few texts. It wasn't until you hear a familiar voice call out to you

"Heyyyy, dorkasaurus trainer of mine. Chill out already. I'm here for training. Just like I promised. No need to text me like a needy girlfriend okay?"

Ah! There she is. But something seems off about her. You couldn't put your finger on it, but her smile seems rather uncanny, and her sclera a bit... darker?

"Who's ass am I kicking today? Scrimmage or G1, I'll break anyone's ankles if they get too close to me. Hehehe... oh and guess what Rudolf told me this morning as I was busy sneaking super spicy sauce in Teio's ice cream? She said "Nature-san, Nature-san, 'Spy-see what you're doing to Teio's food. Apologize if you don't want a cold shoulder'"

"What a terrible pun. I HATE puns. Anyway."
