Akira smiles at Yusa. She seems quite cheerful all of a sudden. Well, it isn't like he doesn't understand. He remembers how free he had felt when he'd left. It wouldn't be going too far to say that Yusa felt exactly the same way.

His expression changes to one of surprise, followed by one of excited happiness as he follows after her. He soon catches up with her. "Don't think I'm going to go easy on you just because you're a lady!" he half yells at her as he goes. The two of them race through the trees, neither one having the upper hand on the other for more than two or three minutes.

In the end, however, Akira slows himself down subtly and allows Yusa to win. As they reach the end, he lets out an exhausted sigh. "Whoo! That was fun," he says to her. "You might have won this time, but don't get too confident. I won't let you win the next time." He says this with an almost childish happiness. Being set free was one thing, but having a partner with you to share your freedom with makes him feel a different kind of happiness.
