Haruka Nanase and Rin Matsuoka participates in a race and tie for the win without repercussions. Later that evening, Haruka and the others invite Rin to the Iwatobi High School pool, which they have cleaned and filled with cherry blossoms so that Rin could swim in it, since it is something that he wanted to do when he was younger.
