Takemichi vows not to have a last handshake
As he lays on the ground dying, Takemichi apologizes to Naoto. Naoto recollects that when they first met, he was filled with despair, not wanting to put all his trust into someone as pathetic as Takemichi; he was dumbfounded as to why Hina would fall in love with him. But after witnessing Takemichi's numerous failures, he believes Takemichi is a hero, never giving up regardless. As he reaches out for what he considers their last handshake, he tells Takemichi he is proud of him. With both of them tearing up, Naoto remarks that death is terrifying. As they clasp hands, Takemichi swears to not let their handshake be the last, believing that he will never give up.
