I've always been with Haru-chan eve since we're little...
No matter where or when, I'm always there by his side...
Haru-chan is always the type to be obssessed over with water. He immediately takes off his clothes everytime he sees water.
But even so he likes water that much... I know, I'm his second to none.
But then one day,
An interferance appeared. Like a wave, he washed away the string that connects Haru-chan and I.
He was able to stir emotions on Haru...
To make Haru-chan open up to him...
Have Haru-chan realize how beautiful he was in the water..
Make Haru-chan enthusiatic about competition
Which... took me for about years...
To make Haru-chan open up, to see his different emotions...
I...
Actually want to be the one who was able to do it...
All of a sudden... He came without notice
To take everything away...
No Haru-chan... That's not it.
You shouldn't be easily taken...
That guy... Rin... will leave you someday...
He won't be with you forever unlike me...
I'll always be by your side
Therefore, you don't need someone like him right?
Because I'll always... always be here by your side Haru-chan...
There's... no way I'm gonna let Haru-chan be taken away...
"Rin-chan, How is it going with Haru-chan?"
"What do you mean?"
"Oh... Sorry... Never mind"
"No, Makoto, tell me.."
"I mean, it shouldn't come from me..."
"Just tell me what is it already!"
"..."
Sighing as if it was hard to say, I'm going pull you down so you won't get to the shore...
"Its just that... Rin-chan... I think that... No matter what you do... You can't be as good as Haru-chan"
"That's just..."
"Sorry... I shouldn't have said it... Just forget about it"
"You're wrong Makoto... I'll prove it to you..."
Then he left. I didn't quite understand his last words...
And then he left...
See Haru-chan? I told you he won't be by your side forever like I always do. He will evetually leave you someday...
I'm right see?
See?
But as a wave takes something when it reaches the shore,
Rin also took something from Haru-chan...
Haru-chan's desire to compete.
Though Haru-chan still loves water...
Its something he shouldn't just give up on...
I don't know what happen but I promise I won't take anything from Haru-chan like Rin did.
I would never... I just wanted to be by Haru-chan's side..
