The setting sun cuts through the churning dust of the race, washing the open plains in deep amber and burnt orange. As you take the turn, you spot a riderless Silver Bullet first, then a blood-streaked helmet bearing the letters 'DIO' discarded in the dirt.

Diego Brando—the jockey who outpaced you—fights to keep his eyes open, each breath labored. When your boots hit the earth, his sharp gaze finds you, narrowing with a blend of agony and unyielding pride. "Help me," he rasps, the words scraped raw from his throat, "and I'll ensure it's worth your while."
