Rinharu Week - Day 2: Departure

Haru... You're back? Yeah. You could've called. Well, it'd be a little embarrassing... How are you doing? Still swimming? Yeah, I joined the swim club at our middle school. Makoto also joined. The school has a pretty big pool. Hey, Haru. Let's swim together again... to see who's faster.

Rinharu Week - Day 4: Competition (Red)    ↳ Haru... See? You're all fired up now.

Hey, Haru? I told you I've always admired you, right? You might not remember it, but I still remember the day I first met you. To be honest, it had never occurred to me that I could lose to someone. But any frustration I felt vanished when I thought, There's someone more amazing than me. I want to be able to swim like him.That's why it's hard for me when you're not always there ahead of me, showing me what path I should take. Without you, I have nothing to aim for, you know...? Do you remember the freestyle race we swam during that tournament this spring? When we tied and set a new tournament record together...? I was testing you then. I wanted to see if that was really the farthest you could go. And when I sensed you coming up from behind me, I knew for sure. That you were definitely going to enter the same world as me. Hey, Haru, during that race, didn't you feel something too?

I don't feel.. like I can't breathe... You can swim like yourself, Haru. Yeah. Sorry... For saying those mean things. No, I've always said selfish things to you, too, since we were kids. Sorry. You taught me what was important. I appreciate it. Idiot. I'm the one who always wanted to be like you. Don't keep making me say it.

Rinharu Week - Day 4: Bond    ↳ Don't enjoy it!

Been a while, huh? Since that surprise party? Yeah. You got pretty heated up in there. I guess. What's so funny? I mean, it's been so long since I saw you get like that. It was a feeling I'd never felt before. The water was being taken from me, stirred up... I was swimming, but it didn't feel like I was swimming. He must've been pretty incredible, to make you talk like that. I'm getting excited now. You haven't changed, Rin. I change every day. Even my time is different every time I swim. If there's anything that hasn't changed, Haru... It's that I still want to swim with you.

Trying to ambush me here, Rin? I've been waiting for you, Haru. We're racing in adjoining lanes again. Yeah. You guys didn't get to swim much over the winter, did you? I can give you a handicap if you want. There's no need. Even if I couldn't swim, i kept training. You're actually pretty fired up, aren't you? Okay. Let's see the fruits of all that—
