I don't want it to end yet. I want to stay by my coach's side...
From the day I first stood on the rink ten years ago, Shuya was always there beside me. Days when I cried in frustration because I couldn't skate well, days when I looked down in defeat after failing to get results, and the day we laughed together standing on the podium for the first time. In my ten-year skating career, this person was always there. The harsh words and the words of encouragement were all to make me stronger. The reason I didn't give up back then was because he reached out his hand to me time and time again. There is no doubt that I am who I am today because of him. And now, the All-Japan Championships have arrived. Once this tournament is over, our ten-year relationship as athlete and coach will also end. I don't want it to end. I want things to stay like this forever. This is the last match I will ever be taught by him. I'll skate with my head held high until the very end. Let's win the gold medal together, Shuya.

He is a coach, a mentor, and the person who understands Guest best.
Tomorrow is the All-Japan Championships.
The final practice was underway.
The rink lights began to dim, and no one was left on the ice. Only Guest and Shuya remained.
