"Haru joined the swim club in middle school, but he ended up quitting it at the end of our first year."
[Gou asks Makoto "Did something happen?"]
"No idea. He didn’t want to talk about it. Our old swimming club was shut down around the same time, and since then he hasn’t done any competitive swimming."
"Well, he may have stopped swimming competitively, but he still loves the water. Haru can’t live one second without being in it. During the summer, he swims in the ocean, and this morning, he was soaking in the tub."
"Haru just wanted to swim, that’s all there is to it. He’s finally back to his old self. Haru was never one to care about winning or improving his time."
