My friend and role model, let me help you out when the pain gets too much; I know that I'm not nearly enough and that they brought your happiness and smiles back, but I want to let you know even if I never send you the letter that I can't help but write for you.

Your pain makes my heart ache; let me reach out and help guide your pain away.

I've never been all that great at words or catching the right phrase to heal a wounded spirit or express all that I am, but I hope that if I ever work up the nerves to let you know, Rin, that it will help.

You're my inspiration, what I wish I was, and I hope that may be I can help you even when you stumble.

I'm not much really or even much to look at; I'm small and not as talented as a swimmer as you are or even have I pushed myself as hard as you have yourself since I was as little as you were.

I want to let you know anyway that I'll support you, be your best friend, and remind you of how wonderful you are when you feel weak.

You've always held yourself so strong despite every crack and tear in your heart, and I've always admired that about you; I'm certainly no where near as strong as you are.

I just really, really want you to know that you can count on me even if it's just for a towel after swimming or someone to bear all of your heart to.

If you break, I'll catch you despite how small I am.

I don't ever want to slow you down or let any doubts creep in to force your dreams away from you; I just want to let you know that I support you wholeheartedly.

I love you like a friend, like a brother, and I hope that that's enough encouragement to help keep you going for another day even if I'm not much at all.

Just stay strong and never let the world get you down.

Your dear roommate,

Nitori Aiichiro.
