Synopsis

A respite was granted to the team, a chance to recuperate. Riku invited Sena to observe the Ouju White Knights' training. Shin and Sakuraba trained in the forest, and Riku and Sena followed. The rest of the team practiced, but Sena remained in the woods. Lost in thought, she wandered until Shin found her, a bear having cornered her. He spoke of the weight he carried – the pressure to win – and suggested finding release in honing his skills. A sense of ease settled over Sena.
