Synopsis

The match continued, yet bewildered, Shinji remained the focal point. He seemed to drift in and out of focus, but a subtle shift occurred as he began to concentrate. Then, unexpectedly, Shinji granted Takumi passage, a gesture that deepened Takumi’s unease. Even Kubo was disheartened by this turn of events, though Go and Ryosuke found it unsurprising, a fitting conclusion to Project D's expeditions.
