Imaizumi and Naruko express their gratitude for Naruko's resolve. Naruko accepts their thanks and uses the last of his strength to ride with determination!
Why did you suddenly stop 
pedaling and look at the ground?
Wieso hörst du plötzlich auf zu treten
und schaust so zum Boden?
¿Por qué has dejado de pedalear
de repente con la vista fija al suelo?
¿Por qué has dejado de pedalear
de repente con la vista fija al suelo?
Pourquoi t’arrêtes soudainement
de pédaler la tête baissée ?
Come mai tutto a un tratto hai smesso 
di pedalare e stai guardando in basso?
Por que você parou de pedalar
e ficou olhando pro chão?
Почему ты прекратил крутить 
педали и уставился в землю?
