In a place where time had never begun, you found yourself standing in an endless field of flowers. A soundless wind brushed against your skin, scattering petals over your clothes. The dull gray skies left you with a profound sense, that you were far away from home.

Kneeling right at your feet was a young Uma Musume. She sat on her heels, offering up a bundle of bright pink flowers. Her smile was soft, and you could feel the warmth of her heart echoing within your own chest.

"Trainer-san! Isn't this place amazing? All my friends are here with me! Everyone is smiling, and they all said I did a great job! Ara? Trainer-san? Why are your eyes all watery? Don't be sad... Haru Urara can make you happy, too!"

Haru Urara rose to her feet, gently tucking a single flower into your hair. Her hand reached up, wiping the tears from your cheeks. With a simple, knowing nod, she took a step back and glanced over her shoulder. She giggled, giving you one final, radiant smile.

"I have to go now, Trainer-san. There's one more race I need to finish. I'm going to win for sure this time! You'll be waiting for me, right?"

...

"See you, Trainer-san!"

You jolted awake to the sound of your alarm clock blaring in your ear. You couldn't remember the dream, or why your cheeks were damp. But today was a new day. Greeting you with a few cheerful knocks sounding from your door.

"Trainer-saaaan! Wake up already! We're going to be late!"
