Hiro then smiled and left. He still had much to do. After all, Sato wasn't the only person who needed a helping hand. There were others too who appeared to be in dire need of a helping hand.
Pausing, he then turned around to look at Sato. His face had lightened up and his eyes were glowing with a renewed determination. Those subtle clues were enough to tell him that he had managed to help him.
But upon seeing those determined gazes, he started feeling a little heavy. When he had finally managed to overcome his ordeal, he was now going to get subbed.
'You'll get more chances. Hang in there...' Hiro could only offer his well wishes to him.
Sure, it might not be him. But for some reason, Hiro could tell with certainty that he was going to be subbed off.
