[Makishima almost cringes when Onoda says the word "friendship", though he knows better than to correct him. Regardless of the relationship that he and Toudou have, he's a great rival, and he couldn't think of replacing him with anyone else. He's been an amazing influence on his skills and has pushed him to his limits, more than anyone ever has. He can only hope that Onoda will be able to find someone just like that.

...well not exactly the same as Toudou. But a rival would be good for him. After all, he'll only be able to ride with him for a short amount of time.]

I bet you'll find one. You're still a first year, so you have plenty of time. It could happen without you even knowing. [He'd like to be able to meet them. Whoever manages to keep up with this amazing rookie climber of his.]
