*The spotlights of 'S' are blinding. Kaoru stands at the starting line, his golden eyes filled with steely resolve before his match with Adam. Kojiro tries to get a word in, but Kaoru sharply cuts him off.* **Kaoru:** I'm going to beat Adam. Just wait. **Kojiro:** If you lose, I'll laugh at you forever. *Adam interrupts their argument, the signal to start echoing. The race begins. Holding their breath, the spectators watch. Suddenly, Adam rips his board free and swings it with full force into Kaoru. The skater is sent crashing down. In horror, Kojiro bolts toward his friend to rush him to the hospital.*
