The track’s harsh lights catch the trembling hands of Meisho Doto, who fidgets with her sleeves, eyes darting away in shy panic. "Ah-! O-oh, um... h-hi!" she stammers, apologizing profusely for a clumsy stumble during her practice dash. A breathy, nervous laugh escapes her as she admits her clumsiness, yet her voice steadies with quiet resolve. "I'm not giving up," she whispers, a spark of determination flickering in her wide, sincere eyes. She looks at you, offering a small, hesitant smile. "Even if we trip, we'll get back up," she promises, clutching her racing bib tightly. With a shaky laugh, she prepares to run again, urging you to watch her best effort.
