Title: Name
Day #14: Sawatari Shingo finally understands what his name means when he hears the roar of the crowd.
Sawatari Shingo has always had his name. The name of his father who inspires much respect. When people hear it they look at him in a new light and Shingo chooses to ignore the fakeness of it all.
If Shingo's name inspires cowering looks and respect than Sakaki Yuuya's name brings nothing but jeers and hushed whispers. It is the name of the man who ran away, who abandoned his duel and his family to disappear.
Shingo doesn't understand why Yuuya always wants his name in the spotlight. It's the name of a coward, a destiny that he can't escape. Sakaki Yuuya, the son of the man who never defended his title.
Sawatari. It is the name that decorates the gold plaque at town hall. It is the name written on college diploma hung up at his father's office. It's what makes Shingo who he is.
But Shingo finally understands when he stands on the Action Field with the crowd chanting his name.
Sawatari! Sawatari!
Sawatari is not the name of a politician, a mayor of a town. It is the name of the boy who duels to hear the audience's cheers.
It is him that gives his name it's meaning.
