Humans are made to die one day, so prolonged life after death was undeniable sweet for unfulfilled soul but bitter for the living.

Amongst the privileged ones, not all dream of being old past their deaths. Some dream of an improved life than their present ones.

But not all kinds of robotics are welcome here. The robotic parts should not overshadow the human participants abilities, it was not about making them run as fast as a cheetah or fly like a bird. Robotics utilization is about making the disabled athletes operate and enjoy sports like normal athletes. It was about creating balance between the able and disabled. Rin was fired up, Haruka was intrigued.
