[Makishima takes a deep breath before lifting his head, and he gives out a loud balk of a laugh before looking over his shoulder at Onoda.]
How many times do you think I have to fall down before I can't get up anymore?
[This is a dangerous test for him to mess with, but Makishima doesn't care, because he hasn't felt this challenged since his last race with Toudou. He's been here so long that he barely remembers the trip to Hakone for the Inter High. What did they say the temperature would be like? What had he packed? What had Sugimoto rambled about on the bus? What had been Tadokoro's meal on the ride there?
They've struggled so much to get to that point. He's been waiting so long. If he can't do this then he doesn't belong on this team. Toudou wouldn't deserve a rival like him. Onoda wouldn't be here with him now.]
