After the breakup of his middle school swim team, Ikuya decided to get stronger on his own and not rely on anyone. But then Haruka, breaking out of his freestyle comfort zone to swim in the individual medley, tells Ikuya, "You're not alone." As the two race side by side, Ikuya hears the sound of Haruka swimming, and suddenly he feels something in him changing...
I was terrified of ending up alone,
،كنتُ خائفاً من الانتهاء وحيداً
Ich fürchtete mich vor der Einsamkeit
Me aterraba terminar solo
Me aterraba terminar solo
J’ai esquivé ma peur de la solitude
en me perdant dans la natation.
Avevo paura di restare solo,
Eu estava apavorado em acabar sozinho,
Мне было страшно остаться одному,
