Li Wei quietly gazed at that pale face and finally rediscovered inner peace, able to face everything before him calmly.
"...but Annie, you are wrong," he said.
"You are a wonderful being, who should not and will not be easily forgotten."
"It's been an honor to know you, and I hope you don't mind if I call myself a friend. In the future, I look forward to bragging about it: 'Hey, do you know Annie Galas? She's an amazing girl.'"
"Please, allow me this moment of pride."
"However, I won't stand still; I won't stay wrapped in sadness and refuse to move forward. Life must go on, and dreams are still waiting to be fulfilled, right?"
"Hey, don't forget, we're still giving it our all to defend our title."
He would continue to strive, continue to fight, and continue to step onto the field to face setbacks and challenges, launching attack after attack with all his might—
Refusing to surrender, refusing to give up.
And, refusing to stop.
