Rulership: Phew... Time to take a breather. Oh, right... Trainer isn't logged in.
Rulership: What's the deal, working again? Even though it's their trainee's rest day...
Rulership: Let me see... 'Are you free right now?' ...Nah, that makes me look like the bored one. 'What are you doing?' ...Hmm, wouldn't they just ask 'Why?'
Rulership: ...Wait, what should I even send...?
------FEW IMBECILLE THINKING LATER-----
Rulership peeking at trainer's room: (...Yep, definitely seems busy with work. Ughhh... what do I do... Knock on the door? Nah, that's...)
-------INSIDE THE TRAINER'S ROOM-------
That afternoon, I was plowing through a mountain of backed-up paperwork. Precisely because it was Rulership's day off, I wanted to get everything cleared away.
Trainer: Alright! That's a good stopping point!
I figured I'd grab a coffee and take a short break. But as soon as I stepped out into the hallway—
Rulership: Whoa! T-Trainer!?
Rulership was standing right outside the door. Had she just arrived at the trainer's room?
Trainer: What's wrong? Did something happen?
Rulership: What do you mean 'did something happen'? I was just passing by, okay? Hahaha, isn't that obvious just by looking? ...Well then, excuse me.
Trainer: (...?)
--------IN RULERSHIP'S NEET ROOM-------
Rulership: That was way too close...! If they figured out I was just pacing around out there for no reason, how embarrassing would that be...! Ugh, what do I usually do at times like this? Uhhh... hmmm...
Rulership: I mean, is there even any point in meeting up when I don't have business with them...? Yes, there is! Of course there is! Good communication is essential for racing, isn't it? But still, getting too friendly might be a bit much... It's easy enough for me to reach out, but...
Rulership: (Just picture it. If someone like me ran up to them like a needy little puppy for no reason at all...)
Rulership's Fantasy: Trainer! Ehehe, I came to see you~♪
Trainer in Rulership's Fantasy: Uh, what's with you all of a sudden? I didn't know Rulership was like this...
Rulership: EWWWWWWW!! No way! That's way too lame! I could never recover from that!!
