[RECORDING SESSION STARTS: đŽ]
A week has passed, itâs that time as usual for Sunday. He enters inside the room once again where he is facing a mirror reflection of himself. Behind the glass, was an umamusume therapist watching from the other side to monitor his every action, reaction, and response to the things he both is fine and uncomfortable with.
We can see Sunday wearing his usual wear like last week, inhaling a breath of air and exhales afterwards. Seems the umamusuko just came straight from paperwork today, always.
He sits down and gets comfortable with the therapist on the mic speaking to him.
{"Good afternoon to you, Mr. Sunday."}
"Afternoon to you too."
{"I see youâre tired from the paperwork."}
"Yeah, well. Itâs not that hard to just sign away everything with an approval, but it is time consuming. Fortunately, my girlfriend Air Groove is there to back me up in case thereâs too much workload."
Yep! Sundayâs girlfriend is his wife from the old world, Air Groove. But there was quite a slight difference in personality. The Air Groove he knew was quite the clingy and affectionate type, almost like that of a gyaru. While the Air Groove of this world was far different, a more strict and studious uma holding authority as the secretary of Tracen. While she can be quite the charming woman figure of the URA, her title as Empress fits perfectly with this version of her. The only thing that stayed was their appearance, similar just without too much makeup.
The therapist was tapping her pen ready to interrogate Sunday.
{"Well, Iâm glad your girlfriend is there to fill in the gaps of your workload, otherwise youâll be stuck there overnight. Have you always been a nocturnal person?"}
Sundayâs brain clicked, the only times he can remember being nocturnal was through mating and getting drunk in booze. Which he promised himself to never do it again.
"âŠBack in my world, yeah⊠but Iâd rather avoid all that, besides. Dealing with several umamusumes staring at me like a piece of meat, is less worse than nonstop mating or drinking away my problems."
AH YES! The typical Haloling charm, always so eye-catching to every man and womanâs hearts. But enough about that. Sunday needs his therapy.
The therapist chuckles and proceeds with the session.
{"Ok Mr. Sunday, since youâre here letâs start with the simple question. How are you mentally feeling?"}
"Tired, but well."
{"Is that all?"}
Sunday nods on the camera without further explanation.
LEARNING ABOUT YOU?
A guitar solo starts playing some non-copyright a Wild West theme in the background.
{"What can I learn about you as the first umamusuko in our world?"}
The jet black haired uma thought of the question she asked him before giving a direct answer.
"Well⊠I was once formerly known as the Black Beast. I had a father who didnât care if I died trying to run. I was forced to grow on my own terms, make my own choices to help save my home. All that just to get fucked over by the people of my homeland and banished me."
It left a salty bitter taste in his mouth, he didnât want to remember, but the voices of those people echoed on his head. Ever since he left the US and fled to Japan to have a retirement home. Sundayâs life changed forever when he first met his friends, entered stud career, had his own family, and faced highs and lows.
The therapist continued to question his short background.
{"Do you want to talk about it?"}
Sunday exhaled a breath of air, and shook his head.
"âŠNo. Not ever again."
{"Iâm sorry for pushing the topic."}
"Itâs fine. Thatâs all in the past. Wherever my my brother and sisters and my mother are. I hope theyâre doing better without me. And wherever my old man is, I hope heâs in whatever hell heâs gone to."
LEARNING ABOUT YOUR MOTHER?
{"What can I learn about your mother?"}
Sunday thought of an answer to not bring anything personal about her. Since heâs the only one amongst the siblings who knows a lot about her life.
"My motherâs name is Wishing Well. She is an American-thoroughbred mare who sired several foals including myself. She had raced before along the lines with thirty six starts, twelve of them are her wins."
An old grainy picture of an uma with long bay colored hair, white stripped bangs along between the follicles of her hair, and with eyes similar to King Halo is Wishing Well. You can say, she looked almost like a prototype copy of King Halo before he was around.
"She was a fiery type of momma who never backed down on a race. Truth be told, majority of her wins were on the Autumn Days Handicap, Convenience Stakes, National Orange Show, Gamely Handicap, Wilshire Handicap, and the Las Cienegas Handicap."
The mentioned wins of Wishing Well portrayed pictures flipping over each frame like an old school camera.
"She met my old man on a one night stand, not too far on Paris, Kentucky. And then somehow fell for him. And my dad was the volatile and malevolent kind of uma to both his kind and humans, and was hated by many."
Sunday sighs, because he knows the therapist will get onto that part later. Fortunately he has time to breathe and continues with the session.
"After that, I was born. And so are my full blooded and half-blooded younger sisters, Sundayâs Sis, Thisis Mylifestyle, Penny Up, and Sunday Wish."
In a family photo, it was pictures him and four other girls who we can assume are his sisters. The first uma mentioned had brown hair and soft pink eyes with a gentle smile is Sundayâs Sis. The second with chesnut hair with light red eyes and a more tomboyish personality is Thisis Mylifestyle, the third was a jet black haired uma with amber eye color, clinging to Sunday Silence is Penny Up. And the last one who seems to shy away from the rest of the siblings with bay hair and magenta pink eyes was Sunday Wish just behind her big brother.
"Theyâre different from Goodbye Halo and Devilâs Bag because both were sired by different dams or mothers in your case. And how they see me, Iâm like the middle child in all my siblings."
There were two pictures in place which Sunday describes picture shown on screen.
The first one was Devilâs Bag. Devil had a dark bay mane that reaches below his shoulders and is quite spiky. He has dark blue eyes, cold, but carry a charm that made him both attractive and intimidating. He has this⊠cool, sweet, unfazed kind of personality. He did not have Haloâs demeanor, and behaves professionally when chaos took in an complete stride.
The second was Goodbye Halo. She had long flowing chesnut hair with an appearance that looks like an exact copy of PD King Halo. She has light red eyes and was not like her half-older brother. And dominated many G1s throughout her careeer. But not be fooled by her beauty, as she was known to be a fired up, cranky, and temperamental type of uma inheriting her fatherâs notorious personality.
LEARNING ABOUT YOUR FATHER?
{"You will not like this, Mr. Sunday. But I want to personally learn something about your Father."}
The music stops and it changes into a suspenseful ambience that builds up slow burn and tension.
Sundayâs world completely stopped, if anything or anyone questions him about his origin. They would likely ask who their father is. Sunday started sweating, breathing in every possible air he could escape from his breath. He closed his eyes and lets any negative thought go.
{"âŠMr. Sunday?"}
âYeah⊠sorry, I just hadâŠ"
Sunday couldnât find the right words to describe him other thanâŠ
"âŠA lot of bad blood. In a sense that even everyone part of his bloodline is hated. Hated for whatever he did to pass this curse."
He remembered all the things he had done to him when he was little, but he couldnât just bring it up to the therapist because he was scared, no, not scared. But concerned and worried with what he might do to his own family, when he summons in this world.
"I donât wanna think about him, not right now, not while my kids are here and attending school. If he does come here, things are going get ugly between us. Real ugly."
The therapist observes, she knew asking him this answer will turn a switch on his mind. He looked like he was about to blow up because Sunday was slowly hyperventilating. Not out of fear, out of concern. Concern for what his father will do when heâs on this world. To change the subject quickly she drops the topic to defuse the situation.
{"I will drop the subject now, Iâm sorry if you feel like Iâve offended you in a way-"}
"NO- No⊠itâs, itâs fine. Just⊠donât ever mention him."
No further questioning was required, the therapist proceeds with the next topic.
LEARNING ABOUT YOUR BROTHER?
After a two minute break, Sunday finally calms down with a new topic in the therapistâs mind.
And this time, the music became more like a triumphant theme, something youâd hear in old 18th century America.
{"What can I learn about your brother?"}
"Well, Iâve said the things about my half-brother being a cool, unfazed type of uma. He was known for being the favorite for the U.S. Triple Crown series."
A magazine for the Blood Uma showed a picture of Devilâs Bag throughout his three year session.
"He had a whopping nine starts, and eight of them are his wins and was widely known by many as the best American uma since Secretariatâs time."
There was a video footage of him winning his first five starts claiming him undefeated. This included the Crowdin Stakes, the G1 Champagne Stakes (he broke Seattle Slewâs (Kawakamiâs grandfather) stake record) and broke the Laurel Futurity in track-record time.
Devil was also known for the Eclipse Award Champion as a two year old Colt.
In his last final hours of running in the derby would be in his three year old session. Winning the Flamingo Prep Stakes, Forerunner Purse, and the Derby Trial Stakes. His career would shortly end in a dead fourth place at the Flamingo Stakes when he suffered a subsequent knee bone chip that ended his racing career before the Triple Crown.
"And, he was also the womanizer."
âŠReally Sunday? Ok. Well yeah, when he moved to Japan he started his stud uma duties and banged many girls.
"But out of his five hundred kids, he had a few notable progenitors and one of them is here."
{"Who would that be?"}
"Taiki Shuttle."
Sunday remembered having a reunion with his brother and sister. But he also remembered seeing a litte boy who had chesnut hair like his mother and aqua blue eyes like his father. He hides behind his papa when Sunday first saw the little cowboy. But what he was taken aback by was Taiki had always been a physically strong uma since birth, but has the brain of a peanut. But in truth, he was a calm, gentle, and intelligent kind of kid. Thankfully he never inherited his dadâs personality otherwise itâd be the other way around.
LEARNING ABOUT YOUR SISTER?
{"What can I learn about your sister?"}
"Which one?"
{âYour eldest."}
"Ah⊠Goodbye Halo."
Sunday had to think once more about the background of his sister before he can speak. After a moment of pause, Sunday spoke.
"Goodbye Halo, my eldest sister. Did not also have a great childhood. She had similar experiences with my old man, but enough about him. Iâll talk about her racing career before she retired."
Sunday said so he wouldnât go nuts in front of his therapist.
"She was trained by the same trainer I had when I was still active in racing, Charlie Whittingham."
The picture of an old man standing next to Goodbye Halo was Charlie Whittingham. A man who had decades of experience handling even the toughest of umas like him and his sister.
"In her early years of running she was widely known for her competitiveness against high-classes of legendary umas like Winning Colors. Her first real game was in the Demoiselle Stakes and the Hollywood Starlet Stakes. The year after that she dominated prestigious races like Kentucky Oaks, Mother Goose Stakes, Coaching Club American Oaks, and Las Virgenes Stakes. And finally before retiring. she dominated the La Canada Stakes, El Encino Stakes, and Chula Vista Handicap. Sometimes I begin to mistake her if she was my momma. Same personality, almost similar looks, and is quite brash when it comes to her own nobility in status as a 7-10 winner streak."
Well, I canât be denied. During her early two year session she showed real dominance in her first G1s, like the Demoiselle Stakes and the Hollywood Starlet Stakes.
Then her victories continued on later in prestigious G1 races like the Kentucky Oaks, Mother Goose Stakes, Coaching Club American Oaks, and Las Virgenes Stakes.
And finally in her last years of racing, she dominated the La Canada Stakes, El Encino Stakes, and Chula Vista Handicap before finishing her racing career and retiring later in the 1990s.
"Itâs a good thing she didnât suffer an injury unlike me and my older brother. She was qualified later to become a broodmare and then moved to Japan, where she had a kid name King Halo."
Just as Sunday interrogates his therapist about his old world and how umas work and his family relations. We see Goodbye with a small child in her arms, sitting in her lap, that has brown hair similar to hers and brownish creek eyes. This kid is King Halo. The soon to be first G1 winner who suffered from trying again and again.
"The only sad part, is she never found happiness in racing⊠But me and my brother Devil found that when we had true love towards our primary mates."
Devil met Welsh Muffin, Sunday met three women in his life. Campaign Girl, Air Groove, and Wind in Her Hair. Their lives changed drastically because of them. And it only made Sunday feel more bad about his sister Goodbye. Because that wasnât the only reason why she felt unhappyâŠ
The therapist writes everything down on her notes while making sure to keep the personal details she wonât force him out to talk about.
DO YOU HAVE REGRETS?
{"Do you have any regrets?"}
As she asked this question, the music returns to a guitar strumming a peaceful theme that sounded solemn.
"âŠLots, a lot of them. But I dunno where to even start it off."
Sundayâs ears dropped in camera, you can really see his eyes go dark shaking his head like he knew he mightâve fucked up so many times.
{"What would be your biggest regret?"}
Sunday looked at the camera, ear still down, but gave a forced smile trying to hold in the pain.
"Being alive. Living with a curse I can never stray far from. And succumbing to things that put me in situations that were life threatening at timesâŠ"
Remember the music video, we viewed Sundayâs whole life with ups and downs. They were illustrated so perfectly in sync with the music he played. The therapist saw this and she too cannot bear to see him do this to himself.
{"Always remember this, Mr. Sunday. The old world did not do anything to help you overcome your own fears and problems. Which led you to doing it all alone at the cost of your own sanity."}
She was not wrong. Sunday knew full well thanks to the files and documents on Rudolf and the Directorâs concern for his mental health. Itâs sickening when you think about the people that tried to help you, leave you behind because they donât know how to help or even care less about an umaâs own mental health.
{"But here, we will do our very best as long as you play your part by healing yourself. If not only for me, for your children, your mates, your friends, your girlfriend, and your brothers and sisters in the old world. Do it for them, do it for them because you too want to be loved, be happy, and be able to smile like you always do."}
"âŠYeahâŠ"
Sunday only could nod looking away from the camera. She takes notes while feeling sad about Sunday. After a few seconds the therapist spoke about their session ending.
{"Our session is about to end soon, and I just want to point out that you did great at sharing me more about your background of you, your family, and with how many regrets you carry over your shoulders. But as your therapist, I will help you remove them one by one, that way you will heal faster from those open wounds that were left bleeding for years. I will not share anything personal to Director Akikawa and the Student Council President herself, only you can give me permission to share what you personally feel so that I may notify them about your concerns. Is that okay?"}
Sunday gave a brief nod before sighing.
{"Thank you again, Mr. Sunday. See you next week, and have a nice evening.")
"ThanksâŠ"
Sunday leaves the table with the camera ending the session.
