Synopsis
Mako Satou chooses between professional racing dreams and rekindled romance with ex-boyfriend.
Dissatisfied with Impact Blue's growing reputation as the fastest racer on Mount Usui, Mako Satou decides to break out of her mold and dedicate her time toward becoming a professional racer. However, as she prepares for this next stage in her life, Mako bumps into an ex-boyfriend, prompting an awkward exchange that makes her resolve waver. But, the question arises whether this second chance at love is enough for Mako to give up her newfound passion for racing permanently.
