As someone who has known loss and risen back up from it, Manami has what it takes to seize the finish line. Upon hearing this, Kinjou reveals how Sakamichi also lost something of great importance and spent the last year dispirited. When Makishima, the man he respected most, suddenly left him, Sakamichi fell into a slump. Kinjou invited him to the beach where he encouraged him by recounting his own experience.
Yeah. Every time he told me, 
"Good job, Shingo," I was overjoyed.
Ja. Immer wenn er sagte,

me alegraba el día.
Sí. Cada vez que me felicitaba,
me alegraba el día.

Sim... Sempre que ele me elogiava,
o meu coração se enchia de calor.
Да. Каждый раз, когда он 
меня хвалил, я прыгал от радости.
