... compared to those maudlin days, however, the present is nothing alike.I will permit this small respite.Might I trouble you to speak to me of those races you hold so dear...?It brings to mind a time when I couldn't run as endlessly as I pleased...To lull me to sleep,Is it me, or is she acting strangely timid?Hear me.squeezeThese days I can pursue my love of racing without any limits -PULL- And you... are in them too.Whoa!... certainly.It seemed her overwhelming sprint was about to leave the pack behind! However, one of them began a relentless pursuit with great momentum! Not only did she not give up, but she also started to catch up to the front! What a heart-pounding race between the two of them!! The finish line was still a ways off! Why couldn't it be right there and then?! Those thoughts screamed within me!! The two gritted their teeth, vigorously swung their arms, and let out mighty bellows! And then, they sprinted past the finish line together!At last, just before the final corner, she accelerated! Right before the turn, with all her might, she pushed forward with explosive speed, catching up to the leading group! It was a beautifully executed move! The girls ahead desperately picked up their pace, determined not to be engulfed by the fervent aura closing in from behind! However, she managed to pass them one after another...! In the blink of an eye, she entered the home stretch in the lead! The crowd went wild in their seats!! I too was screaming!! Glory and honor were within reach!...The results showed a half-length difference!! She refused to give up the 1st place spot right until the end! The crowd clamored as they celebrated this historical moment! And so did I!! The girl who came in 2nd crumbled in tears at that moment... Behind every winner, there is a loser. At that moment, those words came to me...
