Kisumi-onii-chan, did you see me?
Yes, I did! I’m so proud of you, Hayato. You can finally swim!
Mhm, and I’m not afraid anymore. It’s because Coach Tachibana promised it wouldn’t be scary. I hope he comes back to teach me again. Do you think he will, Kisumi-onii-chan?
Well, I’ve known him since middle school and he’s a wonderful friend. I’m sure he will, Hayato. Then you’ll be able to swim in a relay! Wouldn’t that be fun?
Yes!
