The class rep waits for Manami at the finish line in the mountains in order to show her support. When Manami was distraught over losing to Sohoku at last year's Inter-High, she didn't know what to say to him. She became concerned about the way he practiced to the point of injuring himself and asked Toudou for advice, but he responded that the deep wounds Manami suffered wouldn't heal right away, and all she could do was watch over him. One year later, the class rep sensed Manami was finding an answer as the race approached.
I wish I could wipe your sweat away, 
but these days you've been rejecting my help.
Ich würde dir gerne den Schweiß wegwischen,
Ojalá pudiera secarte el sudor, pero,
últimamente, no quieres que te ayude.
Ojalá pudiera secarte el sudor, pero,
últimamente, no quieres que te ayude.
J’aimerais pouvoir t’éponger.
Vorrei tanto asciugarti il sudore,
ma ultimamente non vuoi che ti aiuti.
Queria poder enxugar seu suor,
mas você não aceita mais a minha ajuda...
Я хотела бы тебе помочь, 
но ты бы отверг мою помощь.
