——Taiga!!
Taiga
...Yo, if it isn't Ken.
An's Father
...I heard about what happened from a customer.
An's Father
——You've really gone and done it, haven't you?
Taiga
I told you. I wasn't gonna let it end halfheartedly.
An's Father
...I see.
Taiga
...I told 'em about Nagi too.
An's Father
...!
Taiga
They're the "next generation", it's vital that they know about it.
Taiga
But, I only told them so much. The rest is your job——isn't it?
An's Father
...Yeah. You're right.

Toya
...! Touno-san!
Toya
Touno-san...where are you going?
Arata

Arata
I'm going home. There's no point in me being here anymore.

You...are you really okay with that...?
Akito
As if...? Your resolve isn't something so...!

Arata
"No matter what you say, I'm carrying his dream." I...couldn't say it...!
Akito
...!
Akito
...But, that's...!
Akito
That's...
...What am I even gonna say to him? Nothing is coming to mind.
Toya
...Kh.
Arata
Well, for now——
Arata
I fold.

Tatsuya
——In all honesty, it might be about time we turn it in.
Kotaro
...! No way, not you guys too...!
Tatsuya
It doesn't matter who I——who we lose to.
Tatsuya
If we just keep going until we win, someday we will. That's what we were thinking this whole time.
Tatsuya
But...I figured it out today.
Tatsuya
There are opponents out there that're so overwhelming...that just thinking about fighting them makes you freeze up.
Kohane
Ah...
