    I've experienced a runner's high before,
[04:43] Kakeru
    but this is different.
[04:47] Kakeru
    I feel powerless.
[04:50] Kakeru
    I feel comfortable as though
    I'm dreaming, but also anxious.
[04:56] Kakeru
    My body moves on its own,
[04:59] Kakeru
    leaving my consciousness behind.
[05:07] Kakeru
    Haiji!
[05:09] Haiji
    That night, when you passed
    before my eyes, I had a thought.

    “That's my dream right there.”
[05:16] Haiji
    “It's taken shape, and it's running.”
[05:19] Haiji
    You made such an impact, I wanted to scream.
