"Dash" Higashino is an extremely fast runner obsessed with one goal: beating Handa. It all started in middle school when Handa outran him in a race—a loss that's apparently stuck with him ever since. The thing is, despite being genuinely quick himself, Higashino's so intimidated by Handa that he can't actually bring himself to challenge him head-on. So he's basically trapped in this loop of wanting to prove himself while being too nervous to actually try.
