Ch. 6: Carrying Out the Challenge (SUN)
Vio, who had injured his foot on a tack that had been inside his shoes, accepted some simple medical treatment, then immediately started his warm-ups.
Even if it was only a tack, it caused bleeding…and…
When Vio had been getting treated, his foot had been shaking slightly. His eyes had also been restless, as if betraying the trembling in his heart…
OO: "Vio…don't you think you should really change the day for this?"
I asked it of him, unable to bear the worry I was feeling.
Vio: "No, it's no good if I don't do it today. If I can't do it today…there's no point."
Vio said it like it was nothing, and a terrible feeling came over me.
Vio: "OO, I want you to sit with that boy in the audience. OK?"
Vio put his hands on my shoulders, and stared straight at me with a serious look on his face.
