    No matter how good you are,
    there's always somebody better.

    I guess you could say I reached
    the limit of how far I could go?
[08:25] Kafka
    You'll understand when you're older.
[08:27] Reno
    I won't.
[08:30] Reno
    'Cause I'll never give up.
[08:32] Reno
    So I won't know until the day I die.
[08:34] Reno
    Not that I'd even want to.
[08:37] Reno
    I'll go change.

    I can't tell you what to do
    with your life, of course...

    But when you talked about
    giving up, you looked so sad.
[12:07] Reno
    Of course, I really don't care at all.
[12:09] Reno
    So if I'm wrong, you can just give up
    and I won't care.

    Goodnight!
