"Hey, lay off man! I can still do kendo with only my left hand!"

The assistant instructor gives Misato an exasperated look. "Listen—"

"I'm fine! Don't worry about it!"

The assistant instructor pinches the bridge of his nose and takes a deep breath. With the tournament coming up and everything, he's been rather stressed lately. He closes his eyes and thinks about his bike. The assistant instructor smiles, already feeling better. Yes, that awesome bike. Just the thought of it is enough to soothe his nerves. If he ever lost that bike, he would be devastated.

"Well, I can't stop you," says the assistant instructor. "Just be careful. You don't want to cause any more damage to your arm."

"Mm!" Misato nods eagerly. "Hey, you've always helped me when I was young. Do you want to sign my cast?"

"Me?"

"Yeah. Everyone's doing it. Might as well."

"Hm…"


Misato stares at the assistant instructor's signature. He didn't actually sign his name at all.

Hard work will always open doors.

"How did I just know that he was going to write that?"
