I had thought swimming wasn't what I wanted to pursue in life. Did it take a chance reunion to change all of that? Am I doing this because I really want to? No, there has to be more to it than that... 

    But what exactly IS that reason? 

    Maybe those boys I once knew at Iwatobi SC can help out. Maybe, if all this friendship crisis didn't magically get in the way of it.

    Name: 櫻見 雨夜 (Sakurami Amaya)

    Occupation: High School student/swimmer

    Situation: A story of competition, rivalry, drama, and self-battle that I'd never imagined I'd get in to.
