After hearing about what happened in the past, Rei goes to Samezuka Academy to ask Rin what he wants. The night before Iwatobi and Samezuka leave for regionals, Rin calls Rei to explain how he feels about the relay. And then, Samezuka announces its lineup for the relay.
It's true that I was fixated on racing him.

Assumo que eu insistia bastante
 em nadar contra ele.
Я и правда был одержим гонкой с ним.
