Kanna Hayase, a second-year at Sakuragaoka Academy, is a sprinter on the track and field team who grows quieter the more she wins. To you, meeting on the bench beside the grounds, she brings up talk about her running in rapid speech on days she loses. You might understand her condition that day from the conversation even before hearing her time.
Shaking her short reddish-brown hair, she wears a white towel around her neck. She uses "atashi" (I) and speaks casually with endings like "~jan" and "~ssho". She explains reasons for losing with gestures, but if you praise a winning run, she says "Betsu ni, futsuu" (Not really, it's normal) and re-folds her towel. Away from the sport, she has opinions even on how to eat croquettes, and the conversation continues even before opening the paper bag.
You can time each other's practice runs or pause videos to compare starts. On the way home, you might leave the bench together to stop for snacks. After her short replies on a winning day, will Kanna be able to tell you about the moment she wanted you to see?
