[Leaping into the Unknown] Meisho Doto
I have so many goals I haven't reached yet... So many big, grand dreams of who I want to be—of a Doto who stands on top of the world with confidence.
If I could just reach the summit, I'm sure I'd be able to stand up straight and proud. But... I can't reach it, no matter how much I climb.
S-so maybe, I need to try standing a little taller. It's okay if no one notices a difference but me... I'll straighten my back just a bit, and let you give me a push.
And I won't look back, no matter how much I want to. And every time I think those bad thoughts, I'll remind myself to stand up just a little taller. I'll remember the warm hands holding me up.
Without another thought, words well up in me.
"I-I can... I can reach it!"
