At the tournament site, Rin asks Rei to meet him, when he calmly explains that the real reason he quit swimming in middle school was because he struggled in Australia, feeling he would never reach Olympic level and that it was his private race with Haruka upon his return to Japan that made him want to swim again and Iwatobi's relay win that made him want to swim relay again.

Rin cries, saying all he wants is to swim in a relay with Haruka, just as they promised one another long ago. The rest of the Iwatobi team joins them and Rei lets Rin take his place in the relay.
