Inspired by the quote: "You say I dream too big. I say you think too small." – Unknown
Dreams
"You're mad," that's what they always say.
"It's possible," Yukimura insists, with a smile on his face. "You'll see."
"Your son has a problem," they tell his parents, who agree solemnly.
Yukimura turns his back to them. The so-called 'realists'-he won't let them dampen his dreams. He'll never let that happen. Because he'll do it, they'll see. He'll do it.
Before he knows it, he's graduating from high school. All of his friends are on their path to University, while Yukimura sits at home tightening the strings of his tennis racket. His parents cannot look at him without shaking their head and sighing, bemoaning their fate at raising a son who had no future.
He'll show them.
He plays in small tournaments, and comes first for most of them.
They still tell him his dream is impossible. "Go to University, Seiichi. Please. Get a normal job; with your grades, you can become a doctor, you'll have a future, Seiichi," they beg, but Yukimura ignores their pleas, and continues to play tennis. Just like he always wanted.
He is invited to play in the junior U.S. Open: "All expenses will be paid for by your sponsors. They have high hopes for you, seeing your record," the man says.
His family still shakes their heads.
They don't see him off when he leaves for America for his debut in the professional circuit.
Yukimura can't say he's upset. He's shown them, so he departs with a big smile on his face.
