[ I've seen Free! even if it was like a decade ago okay all he wants to do is swim and be ostensibly gay. But he'd still kinda inherently do this even if Haru was like I've literally seen war, you peanut. ]

...Yeah. I think, even if he was gonna go, it wouldn't have been like that. [ BY SUDDEN HORSE. ] More dignified, at least.
