Memory 26: Meeting Nanase Haruka
Because Free! and High Speed tend to clash in the first season when it comes to the characters as kids, this memory is kind of a Frankenstein thing. It's essentially pieced together from High Speed Chapter 1-2, Free Episode 1 and 10 and Eternal Summer Episode 12. Yep.
What he learns:
- He first saw Haru during a tournament when they were children. It was the first time anyone (aside from Sousuke) actually outraced him. And in freestyle no less. While he should've been super pissed at that, he couldn't help being mesmerized by the thought that there was someone out there like that.
- He had heard some rumors about Haru from around the tournament scene, but it was something vastly different to see him in action.
- He wanted to know more about Haru and approached Makoto and Haru to praise Haru, but Haru was as uncommunicative as ever.
- The first time he got to see Haru swim purely as a spectator was amazing. Haru was amazing! It excited him in a way nothing else ever had and all he knew was that he had to swim with him! Who cares if Haru didn't care about times or anything like that. He just had to share that with him!
What this means:
- +100 more intense feelings about swimming with Haru, they were already pretty intense
- +100 more intense feelings about wanting to help Haru get his skill back so they can swim together again
- +100 more intense feelings about Haru in general
- Basically this memory just ups Sakura's swimming boner for Haru. And really his Haru feelings as a whole.
