Summary
Let’s talk about how Nitori is fifteen years old when Rin Matsuoka returns to Japan, contempt and anger pulsing in every muscle, permeating each stride he walks, very stroke he swims. Let’s talk about how Nitori follows his every move with admiration shining in his eyes, how at night, he traces the lines of his much smaller muscles and dreams about growing, about filling the room like Rin does. Let’s talk about how he stretches his spine to try and match his modest height to his idol. How he just wants to measure up. Let’s talk about Rin Matsuoka is everything Nitori ever wanted to be.
Rin is a natural. Born with swimming in his genes, in his bones. Rin is a boy who grows up chasing the footsteps of someone else. Rin is the one with the talent, the strength, or so Nitori thought.
His story is one of growth. Let’s talk about Nitori Aiicirou for a bit.

Summary
Let’s talk about how Gou Matsuoka loses her father at four. How she lives her whole life with sorrow running beneath her skin, through her veins, her bones. Now, let’s talk about how she smiles at strangers on the sidewalk because their stories may be much sadder than her own.
Her brother is the one with the tears, the screaming, with the violent outbursts. Gou carries many of the same scars, but they do not show themselves in poisonous words or harsh actions, or in tears. They show themselves in late night calls to her brother, and all-nighters drawing up workout plans, and dogeared pages in nutritional cookbooks. They show themselves in how fiercely she cares.
Gou shapes herself to be a survivor. She cooks dinner for her mother on weekdays, she picks chrysanthemums to put in vases and she goes out to tea with Hana every Saturday. She counts down the days until New Years and teaches herself to cook all her brother’s favourite meals.
She copes.
You can tell a billion stories about girls who light incense at their father’s graves and text their brothers good night before falling asleep.
No one has ever told Gou’s story.

Summary
There were times when he would forget, laying, staring into the night’s darkness, mind lingering somewhere in the realm between wakefulness and sleep. There were nights when his body was free of pain, when his heart was free of turmoil. At these times, he could almost allow himself to forget his tragedies.
Then he would move, and his shoulder would ache, and his world would crumble in on itself, again and again.
He had lived to swim once.
They showed us his tragedy and called it a happy ending. It was not an end at all.
Let’s retell the story of Sousuke Yamazaki.

Summary
有时候他会忘记，只是躺着，眼前是夜的黑暗，意识在睡梦与苏醒之间游移。有些夜晚，他的身体没有伤痛，心中没有混乱。在那些时刻，他几乎都能允许自己忘记痛苦。
然后他动一下，肩膀会疼，然后一次又一次地，他的世界会由内而外地崩塌。
游泳曾经是他生命的意义。他们给我们看了他的悲剧，把它叫做一个幸福的结局。那连结局都不是。
我们重新讲一讲山崎宗介的故事吧。Series
