"These are some bad-ass birds, and kill" , says Tommo. He's not sure what to make of these birds, but he's sure that they're just trying to kill him. He doesn't even have a single point, and he knows that his opponent is going to go back to the gram-scale tournament, which is coming up in a few days. Tommo says that the only thing that matters in this battle is survival, and that his family was poor, so it's unlikely that he'd even be able to attend high school. He also says that he was lucky to meet the president of a company called Masuo Tanaka, who gave him a job and taught him how to live. He tells Tommo to take care of his little girl, who's growing up fast.
