5. arakita: "hah! stupid! don't think you'll get everything you want just by bowing your head, softie! but, well. bowing to someone you hate the most to get stronger? that's sincere. that's not bad at all, huh? you finally tossed it, that pride. steal it from others: the 'way to get stronger'. that's what i did. you can, too."
11. arakita: "words like "i should have done things differently back then"? they appear every once in a while and bind your heart. they make it hard to move. they drag out old baggage and muddy your spirit. from here on out, there's no room for mud—
"i want to be faster." "i want to beat him." "this is fun."
—"i want to move forward."
this is a place you'll never be able to reach without clarity of heart, machimiya!"
