So when Chinatsu says shell attend too, Taiki knows what that means.
Hes so focused on getting better he highlights only the flaws.
Everyone around him says hes rapidly improving, but he doesnt feel it.
Instead, he feels like a coward for rejecting Hina but hesitating to pursue Chinatsu.
Haryu tells Chinatsu about Taiki in the desert, only seeing where its falling short.
I get Taiki wanting to retreat into badmintonhe wants to reach nationals and beat Yusa, both admirable goals.
But him and Chinatsu continuing to stand still isnt doing either of them any good.
