   • 一年前，校長條八婆踢咗我出校，佢同我講，佢話：「阿木，你不如唔好叫阿木，你索性就叫條廢柴啦你！」之後我諗得好清楚，我要話畀全世界人知道，我阿木唔係廢柴，我要做車手！ [Cantonese, trad.]

     One year ago, the damn principal kicked me out of school, she said to me, she said, “Itsuki, you'd better not be called Itsuki, you should be simply called trash instead!” After that I thought thoroughly, I decided that I should tell the world that I, Itsuki, am not trash! I'll be a racing driver!
