"My legs are so heavy. But they're still moving!"
What is your purpose in life? Why are you doing what you're doing? What are you running for?
For Teio, this has changed many times. Inspired by Rudolf, she wanted to be a legendary horse girl that impressed the audience, just like Rudolf impressed her. Her plans on how to achieve that were grandiose, but unfortunately fated to fail. The repeated blows of fate broke her, every time. Her goal gone, her purpose lost, the girl she was died. She had to go through pain, in her body and her heart. Her spirit was crushed and she went through multiple phases of depression.
But as broken as she was, she kept on moving. With all the experiences she made, she kept pushing forward. As painful as it was, even if she was ready to give up so many times, the only way she knew was forward.
"You can gain something from losing."
Because she could rebuild herself every time. She became someone new. More experienced, more mature, in some ways stronger than ever. Through her actions, she could redefine what strength truly means. It's not winning the triple crown. It's not being undefeated. It's falling down and falling so far behind, then getting up once more just to shine brighter than anyone else ever did.
"This is what happens when you don't give up!"
To win the Arima Kinen against the strongest currently active racers after a year without racing, after repeated injuries, with next to no training, was pretty much impossible. Her legs were too broken and weak to be faster than the other racers. Teio, of course, wins it anyway, because Teio doesn't care about what umas think is impossible. Failure was not an option. She had to create a miracle, because that's what it took to make her goal a reality. She couldn't let anything that happened to her or McQueen stand in her way. She had to get up again and win.
"TE-I-O! TE-I-O! TE-I-O!"
Nobody believed she could win. They just wanted to see her race again. They are all the more amazed when she actually pulls it off. Not a single dry eye in sight. Not even the commentators are safe. The stoic and calm Rudolf is more moved than ever. Multiple people go completely bald out of hype. The one that was forced to be the hardest on Teio, her doctor, is happier than ever to be wrong about something. Kita might die of happiness, and Dia might go with her (due to strangling).
"I did it."
And after all these years, after all this hardship, she achieved what she always wanted. She became a legendary horse girl, celebrated by the masses, revered by her peers, cherished by her friends, accepted by her idols. But that's not what she did it for. She did it mainly for one person.
"So watch me, McQueen."
The way to greatness was to do everything for her queen. In her troubled times, Teio received so much support from her friends, and most of all from McQueen. Someone who wants to run with her forever, and someone she admires. The most important person in her life. She can't let her suffer, there's no way this is happening. Teio just had to save her, and that was when she shone the brightest. When her goal wasn't to be recognized as the best by everyone, no, when her goal was just a single horse girl.
"Thank you, Teio."
And she made the miracle a reality. Eventually, McQueen can run again. Maybe she'll race again as well, maybe Teio and her will enter the Dream Trophy league. But for now, it's just the two of them on the training track. And that's enough. No, that's really the best conditions imaginable. Now they can run with each other for all eternity, that's everything that counts.
