**[00:24] MODEL**
Thanks for having me today.
**[00:26] ALL**
Thank you.
**[00:27] KOUYA**
I... I look forward to working with you.
**[01:08] MODEL**
Um, excuse me...
**[01:10] KOUYA**
You're doing great. Let's keep going.
**[03:15] KOTAROU**
He's doing good.
**[03:16] KOTAROU**
Like really, *really* good today.
**[03:23] KOTAROU**
Heck yeah!
**[03:24] FUTOSHI**
A new personal best for Haruka!
**[03:26] BOTH**
Yeah!
**[03:28] SATSUKI**
*Huh. Looks like Haruka-kun's doing well.*
**[03:32] SATSUKI**
*I'm doing better, though.*
**[03:42] KOTAROU**
Already slipstreaming in qualifying, huh?
**[03:45] FUTOSHI**
They're going hard again today.
**[04:05] KOUYA**
Haruka-kun!
**[04:06] KOUYA**
Congrats on qualifying fourth.
**[04:08] KOUYA**
That's your best-ever
starting position, right?
**[04:11] KOTAROU**
Yeah!
**[04:12] HARUKA**
I couldn't match Belsorriso, though.
**[04:14] KOUYA**
But there's only one car
between you and them.

**[04:18] SATSUKI**
Thanks, kittens.
**[04:20] KOUYA**
Who knows? Maybe they're starting to panic.
**[04:23] KOUYA**
You finally made it this far.
**[04:27] KOUYA**
You know what? I think you're gonna
make it onto the winner's podium today.
**[04:32] KOUYA**
Yup, uh-huh. You definitely will.
**[04:35] KOUYA**
Your car's setup is just right,
and you've practiced tons for this day.
**[04:41] KOUYA**
And more than anything,
you've got a confident look on your face.
**[04:46] HARUKA**
You've said that before.
**[04:47] KOUYA**
Huh?
**[04:48] HARUKA**
Or something similar.
**[04:50] KOTAROU**
Lately, you've said that
after every qualifying session.
**[04:52] KOUYA**
What? But I really, *really* mean it this time.
**[04:58] HARUKA**
You're wearing that today, huh?
**[05:00] KOUYA**
Huh? Oh, this?
**[05:03] KOUYA**
Yeah. I'm here for work today.
**[05:08] KOUYA**
Since that day, I've been able
to take pictures of people.
**[05:13] KOUYA**
When I first came for work,
I could only photograph the cars,
**[05:16] KOUYA**
but today, I'm gonna take
*tons* of pictures of the drivers.
**[05:20] KOUYA**
Just kidding.
**[05:23] HARUKA**
When you take photos, how does it feel
when you press the shutter button?
**[05:30] KOUYA**
I've never really thought about it.
**[05:33] KOUYA**
It's like my body reacts on instinct
when I see an opportunity.
**[05:38] KOUYA**
I'm just taking pictures because I want to.
**[05:41] HARUKA**
I see. That sounds fun.
**[05:46] KOUYA**
Of course it is.
**[05:49] SATSUKI**
Here.
**[05:51] SATSUKI**
My slipstream wasn't too bad, was it?
**[05:54] TOSHIKI**
What?
**[05:55] SATSUKI**
Don't act so confused!
**[05:58] SATSUKI**
I towed you after my fast lap!
**[06:00] TOSHIKI**
You were towing me? I thought
you were just getting in my way.
**[06:05] SATSUKI**
How could you *say* that? You're so mean.
**[06:07] TOSHIKI**
I'm obviously just better at it than you.
**[06:11] TOSHIKI**
I have more experience.
**[06:13] SATSUKI**
You're right. I'm grateful
for everything you do.
**[06:16] TOSHIKI**
I just do what I have to.
That's all there is to it.
**[06:22] TOSHIKI**
It's just...
**[06:24] TOSHIKI**
Aside from being number one and number two
drivers, we race under the same conditions.
**[06:31] TOSHIKI**
If there's anything that
determines which of us wins, it's...
**[06:35] SATSUKI**
It's luck.
**[06:36] TOSHIKI**
So I'm certain I'll beat you someday.
**[06:40] TOSHIKI**
Isn't that what that means?
**[06:42] SATSUKI**
Nice. I like that.
**[06:47] KOUYA**
Well, then. Good luck in the race.
**[06:50] FUTOSHI**
Oh, Madoka-chan.

Yeah. I appreciate how thoroughly it covers

**[07:05] KOUYA**
Now Sae-chan won't yell at me anymore.
**[07:08] FUTOSHI**
I miss the days when you'd get excited because
you didn't know what a formation lap was.
**[07:13] KOUYA**
Yeah, that was embarrassing. Anyway, uh...
**[07:19] KOUYA**
While looking up some stuff online,
I came across that wet race,
**[07:23] KOUYA**
and found information on
Haruka-kun's dad's accident.
**[07:27] FUTOSHI**
I see. I guess you can
look up anything these days.
**[07:32] KOUYA**
Must be painful.
**[07:33] FUTOSHI**
I guess.
**[07:39] FUTOSHI**
He's raced a bunch of times since then,
so we can hardly call it painful now.
**[07:44] KOUYA**
But he still races regardless.
**[07:46] FUTOSHI**
Right? I actually feel
really guilty about it.
**[07:53] KOUYA**
I know what you mean.
**[07:57] KOUYA**
It was the same for me.

**[09:03] KOTAROU**
They're changing tires.
**[09:05] KOTAROU**
I'm gonna go check it out.
**[09:08] KOUYA**
Komaki-san!
**[09:10] KOUYA**
How's it looking?
**[09:12] FUTOSHI**
The clouds are moving quickly.
**[09:14] FUTOSHI**
We can't tell what the race will look like.
**[09:17] KOUYA**
He's not going to put the rain tires on?
**[09:20] FUTOSHI**
Well, it may let up before the start,
so he might stick with the slick tires.
**[09:27] FUTOSHI**
I wonder what he'll do.
**[09:28] KOUYA**
Even if it stops raining, if the track's wet,
won't the regular tires slide around?
**[09:33] FUTOSHI**
Well, yeah. But if the track dries,
the rain tires won't have any grip.
**[09:39] FUTOSHI**
If that happens,
his tires will hold him back.
**[09:44] KOUYA**
You mean he'll lose time?
**[09:46] FUTOSHI**
Well, the other teams are probably split
on whether to change their tires or not, too.
**[09:51] HARUKA**
I want the slicks.
**[09:55] KOUYA**
Haruka-kun...
**[09:57] HARUKA**
Races are always disrupted by rain because
no one can drive like they normally do.
**[10:02] HARUKA**
It's an opportunity for the cars
at the back, so they'll go for it.
**[10:05] HARUKA**
If I swap to rain tires
and this downpour stops,
**[10:08] HARUKA**
what'll I do if a car with
slicks comes up behind me?
**[10:11] KOUYA**
Uh, wait, hold up. You don't know
what the rain is gonna do.
**[10:16] KOUYA**
What if it starts coming down even harder?
**[10:18] KOUYA**
You won't be able to drive in it
without rain tires fitted.
**[10:22] HARUKA**
I think they'll make the same choice.
**[10:25] KOUYA**
"They"?
**[10:26] KOTAROU**
Haru!
**[10:28] KOTAROU**
Belsorriso's going for slicks.
They're not changing.
**[10:32] ENA**
Both of you are fine with the slicks?
**[10:34] SATSUKI**
Yeah. Unless it really starts coming down,
rain tires will only hamper us.
**[10:38] SATSUKI**
If we want to keep the lead
in the race, we need slicks.
**[10:43] SATSUKI**
And Komaki Motors seems
to be in good shape today.
**[10:46] TOSHIKI**
That's irrelevant.
**[10:48] HARUKA**
If I want to compete for first,
I have to fit the slicks.
**[10:51] KOUYA**
But...
**[10:53] FUTOSHI**
Well, it's not a reckless strategy.
It's a common risk drivers take,
**[10:58] FUTOSHI**
especially on days like today, where it rains
between qualifying and the race.
**[11:02] KOTAROU**
It's looking like it might pass quickly, too.
**[11:06] HARUKA**
I don't need it to stop.
**[11:08] HARUKA**
If the rain slows them down,
it'll be easier to catch up.
**[11:13] KOTAROU**
Well, sure.
**[11:14] KOUYA**
But... But what if...
**[11:16] HARUKA**
My dad didn't die because of the rain.
**[11:20] HARUKA**
I looked for a reason for so long.
**[11:22] HARUKA**
If I knew it, I could avoid
making the same mistake.
**[11:25] HARUKA**
I believed I could overcome it.
**[11:30] HARUKA**
But that day...
**[11:32] HARUKA**
Because you took that photo
so naturally that day, Kouya,
**[11:39] HARUKA**
I realized I didn't need a reason
to overcome something.
**[11:43] HARUKA**
I just have to do what I want to do.
**[11:50] HARUKA**
There are definitely things
I have to do when it rains,
**[11:53] HARUKA**
like calmly assess the situation
and be extra careful,
**[11:57] HARUKA**
but that's no different
from any other race.
**[12:02] HARUKA**
Didn't you say you'd take
my picture on the winner's podium?
**[12:06] HARUKA**
I think that's going to be today.
**[12:11] KOUYA**
Haruka-kun...
**[12:15] KOUYA**
I still don't want you to race.
**[12:28] HARUKA**
You don't want me to race?
**[12:30] KOUYA**
I know it's not my place to say anything,
since I'm only an amateur.
**[12:34] KOUYA**
But if you're gonna race,
you should fit the rain tires.
**[12:37] HARUKA**
I told you, that's not—
**[12:38] KOUYA**
If it stops raining, you'll be high and dry.
**[12:41] KOUYA**
But what if it starts raining harder?
Slick tires would slide around, right?
**[12:45] HARUKA**
I've raced in the rain before.
**[12:47] HARUKA**
My times will be worse,
but it's nothing to be afraid of.
**[12:52] KOUYA**
Doing something because you want to
is a good attitude to have,
**[12:56] KOUYA**
but that only applies
when lives aren't at stake.

**[13:02] HARUKA**

**[13:04] HARUKA**
Even normal races come with risk.
**[13:06] KOUYA**
Today's race isn't a normal race!
**[13:09] KOUYA**
Even ignoring the rain, you're on a high
today, whether you realize it or not.
**[13:13] KOUYA**
You're convinced you'll do well,
but you don't *know*.
**[13:16] HARUKA**
That's not true!
**[13:17] KOUYA**
It *is* true!
**[13:19] KOTAROU**
Hold on, Madoka-chan.
**[13:24] KOUYA**
There's no such thing as a guarantee.
**[13:27] KOUYA**
Especially not when lives are at stake.
**[13:31] KOUYA**
If something happens today
that puts a terrible curse on you...
**[13:36] HARUKA**
Curse?
**[13:38] KOUYA**
Then you won't be able to engage
with what you used to love.
**[13:42] KOUYA**
You'll never be able to face
what you want to do again.
**[13:45] HARUKA**
Um, what? Who are you talking about?
**[13:50] KOUYA**
You're right. I'm talking about myself.
**[13:55] KOUYA**
I don't want you to go through what I did.
**[14:03] KOTAROU**
Haru.
**[14:05] KOTAROU**
It's time to decide.
**[14:08] HARUKA**
I'm keeping these tires.
**[14:12] KOTAROU**
Okay.
**[14:21] SATSUKI**
Don't worry.
**[14:23] SATSUKI**
Just like you've decided to believe
in your luck, I believe in my own.
**[14:30] TOSHIKI**
You just love yourself, don't you?
**[14:57] COMMENTATOR**
*It's lights out and away we go!*
**[15:13] FUTOSHI**
The car in front of Haruka is on wets.
**[15:16] KOTAROU**
Seemed that way when I looked earlier.
**[15:44] KOUYA**
The rain...
**[15:47] SATSUKI**
*See?*
**[15:49] TOSHIKI**
*Seriously?*
**[15:58] KOTAROU**
Dad!
**[15:59] FUTOSHI**
Don't panic. He'll get his chance soon.
**[16:02] FUTOSHI**
Currently, every car is on the ideal line.
**[16:06] FUTOSHI**
The friction from the tires will
gradually dry out the wet track.
**[16:10] FUTOSHI**
And the dry track will cause
the rain tires to overheat.
**[16:15] FUTOSHI**
They'll want to cool their
tires to prevent that.
**[16:20] KOTAROU**
So the moment they avoid the dry parts
and stray from the racing line...
**[16:27] KOTAROU**
...he'll pass them!
**[16:30] BOTH**
All right!
**[16:34] KOTAROU**
Dad, Haru's totally on fire today.
**[16:38] FUTOSHI**
Haru's always on fire.
**[16:40] KOTAROU**
I know that. But maybe...
**[17:06] KOTAROU**
Seriously?
**[17:16] SATSUKI**
*This is tougher than before.*
**[17:19] TOSHIKI**
*I can't see.*
**[17:22] TOSHIKI**
* Never thought I'd see*

**[17:25] KOTAROU**
Belsorriso's so fast.
**[17:27] FUTOSHI**
As long as they're out front,
there's no spray obstructing their vision.
**[17:31] FUTOSHI**
The cars behind know what line to take by
following the tail lights of the cars in front.
