Free! Free Starting Days Drama CD: Iwatobi Junior High School Swimming Club Activity Log: [AUDIO]
Rin: Oh, a letter from Kisumi!
Kisumi: Yahoo! Itās me, Kisumi! Rin, are you doing well? I bumped into Sousuke a little while back, and found out that you guys have been exchanging letters, so I felt like writing a letter to you too! Itās the first time Iāve sent an airmail! Iām not too sure how to write the address, did I get it right? I bet youāre working really hard on swimming as usual, right? Iām naturally in the basketball club! But Iām really shocked that there arenāt many people who joined the club! Haah, I want to be able to play basketball and soccer with Sousuke and you again!
Rin: Haha! Kisumi sounds like heās doing well!
Kisumi: Actually, Iām quite worried about Sousuke. I mean, you changed school in elementary, and then left for Australia next. Sousuke was really lonely afterwards.
Rin: Huh? Sousuke was�
Kisumi: When I saw him the other day, Sousuke suddenly stopped at the quay and whispered Rinās name looking in the direction of Australia. Even when I call his name, he didnāt respond, and when I looked at his face to check if heās listening, Sousuke looked like heās about to cry.
Rin: Sousukeā¦! He never said anything about itā¦!
Kisumi: And when sprays of water from the waves dropped onto Rinās photo that he had in his hand, they looked like tears to me. And then Sousuke, he wouldnāt stop looking at the sea. As if heās thinking that if he could swim across the ocean to reach Australia, he would be able to see you.
Kisumi: And also, it seems like he canāt even eat properly. Ā Sousuke has always been the kind to be always hungry and eats loads, right? Like in our elementary school years, he used to get extra servings at the school lunch. But lately, he canāt even eat his favorite food, and the other day he looked completely burned out and said āI canāt take this anymoreā¦ā and looked like heās in so much painā¦!
Rin: No wayā¦! Sousukeā¦Sousukeā¦!
Kisumi: Sousuke has always been the kind to put up a strong front, and doesnāt let his pain show, but I think he really wants to see you, Rin. I really canāt see him acting like that anymoreā¦! Oh no! I want to cry just writing thisā¦! So Rin, please talk to Sousuke and make him feel better! Thanks! Iāll talk to you later!
