The narrator tells us that his fastest time in the pool was when he was swimming with Takeru and kanae. When he met them again, he was relieved to find that they had not given up on the sport. He wants to swim with them again. He asks if they have ended their feelings for each other. They both say that they have. The narrator says that he was following them on his own. He says that if someone liked him so much, they would stalk after him. When the narrator asks if he heard that they were able to end their feelings, they both admit that they did not. They say that she was not with them when they left, and that by the time he left, she was "s sulking" and eating food
