panel1) When I was young, I couldn't control myself. // I would frequently get mad and hit things, or break things. // Because my parents were divorced.
panel2) My grandmother was the one who took me to a kendo dojo.
panel3) She was hoping they would discipline me a little there.
-yeah... y should family discipline their own child huh??-
panel4) And I think it did work, I didn't always lash out like before.
panel5) It was because I had some talent for it, and I got better quickly. // Confidence supported me.

page 164

panel1) But, as I kept getting better, the people around started to expect more and more of me. // And as more people started to have high expectations, the harder it got on me.
panel2) There were plenty of times when I shut myself in like this at a competition I couldn't afford to lose. // I thought: "I want to get out of here", "I want to quit!".
panel3) I did a lot of things to ensure my victory. // All so I wouldn't get crushed under the weight.
panel4) But...
b1) Konishi-senpai
b2) Are you in here Konishi-senpai?

b3) I'm sorry,
b4) I'll be right there.

panel1) I finished with all this. // If I have to experience something like that again,
panel2) Then losing and having everyone stop expecting the world from me is way better.
b1) haha.
panel3) I'll get better.
panel4) There's no way in hell I'm quitting Kendo, so I'll just get better. // I'll get better and support myself.
