Even though I was alone, one thing I wasn't was a liar. I had made a promise, and I would keep it. Mei wasn't going to hang out with me anymore, but that didn't matter. I would still go to the Olympics — just to see her, even from the stands.
I didn't care about fame or wealth. I just wanted to show Mei that I would stay with her through the rough and tough, the bright and sunny. I would be there for her, cheering her on as she broke the 100-meter mark, ahead of every other contender. I promised her that.
