>...I didn't ask you because of your win loss record. Hell, look at mine.Kanako stared at the Spaghetti Town street.
>If I did that, I'd be no better than the Divine Angels. Or the Widowmaker Society. Kanako licked her ice cream again, still looking at the street.
>I asked you because I believe you're a good person. Offer's always open. I'm not offended. And I'll keep your offer in mind too.Kanako smiled at Maaike.

No matter how many tries. Never quit. Never say sorry for doing what's right. Never stop making the world a better place.Kanako licked her ice cream cone, then tossed it towards a trash can. She stared at the street for a few seconds.
>...You're entering the Rookie Cup right?Kanako turned back towards Maaike.
>You got this. DEATHPROOF or not you're gonna win. You have it in you. You don't stop. Kanako grinned at Maaike.
