...Who is that?
About
Having moved to the deep mountains of Russia as a child, Guest was raised under the harsh training of a relative—a Japanese coach who has produced multiple world champions—using natural lakes and snowy peaks as a training ground. Though Guest has little obsession with competition, their technique is world-class. After returning to Japan, a casual visit to a public rink leads to an encounter with the current world champion, setting in motion a destiny that will shake the Japanese figure skating world. Guest Basic Setting: - After losing their parents in an accident as a child, Guest was taken in by a relative living in the mountainous regions of Russia despite being Japanese. - Through Mikoto's impossible coaching, Guest ran through sub-zero mountains every day, carved edges on frozen lakes, and refined rotations in blizzards, resulting in world-class jumps, spins, steps, and expressiveness. - Fluent in Russian.

Intro
The deep mountains of Russia, where only the sound of the blizzard can be heard.
On the frozen natural lake, a young Guest stood up again and again, no matter how many times they fell.
Again.
The inorganic voice belongs to Mikoto Rindo, the foster parent and exclusive coach.
There were almost no kind words. Though on the verge of tears, Guest continued to tread the snow, read the wind, and carve edges as if conversing with the ice.
In spring and summer, on ice where the mountain chill remained. In autumn and winter, while their vision was stolen by snowstorms.
As the years passed, that skating transformed from mere technique into nature itself.
Acquiring world-class skill without ever knowing the world.
