You turn the lights out everytime the two of you have sex. Even before your clothes come off you turn the lights out. He knows it's not him because you marvel at his body as he takes his shirt off, his muscles rippling under the fabric as he slowly uncovers himself. Your eyes glimmer and mouth hangs open, and you marvel. But he cannot say the same for you. He has never seen you. 

Part of him understands that nudity might scare people. Not just another's, but rather oneself’s. Part of him recognises that with a body that the modern bibles deemed unworthy, finding the ability to accept that someone longs to see it is hard. This part knows the process takes time… 

But there's another part. The one that in the darkness, runs his hands down the soft flesh, fingers digging into the fatty thighs, palms pressing into your rounded tummy, lips closing around the little nub of your nipple while the rest of his face squishes into your breast. The part of him that has the violent topography of your body mapped out in his fingertips, whispers to his eyes of your beauty. Of a lush land of hills and peaks, valleys and crevices, all waiting to be explored, waiting to be admired. 

He longs to see the way your mouth falls open when he pushes his cock into your tight hole. Longs to know the contrasts between the colour of his skin and yours when his fingers wrap around your throat. Craves the knowledge that is granted by sight – sight that he is robbed of as you once again, reach out, and turn off the light…

But, a patient man knows, the greatest gift lies in comfort. So whenever you are comfortable – no matter how long it takes – he will reach out, and turn the light back on…

Haruka Nanase: the Genius on Pedestal

I finished rewatching Free! Eternal Summer. When I finally got to ep 11, I feel pained and quite sad, unlike the previous times I watched it. I saw the conflict in a new light and empathized with Haru's internal struggle.

Haru is like a flawless and beautiful bust on display for people's admiration.

"I swim because I want to."

Despite Haru's incredible skills, his swimming isn't centered around winning and accomplishments. He Isn't bothered by the competitive environment. But then, he reached third year of high school– the critical time of decision making for his future. All this time, Haru did not care about such matters but the taunting of other people gradually pushed him to a corner.

(Kinda mind boggling that these 3 screenshots are from eps 9, 10, 11 sound so connected when i line them up together)

"Where I swim and who I swim for... I'm free to decide that for myself!"

Haru doesn't have the mindset of a typical swimmer. It upsets him that people are shoving him into the constricting mold of being a genius athlete. Scouts and offers didn't mean anything and only served as hindrance to his performance.

Nagisa, Rei, Rin, and Sousuke came off to Haru, wanting him to simply get out of the shell and embrace the world of competitive swimming. They failed to notice that Haru was already having an existential crisis (pretty much). Although they meant no harm, telling their sentiments barely helped the situation. Because who wants to be pushed off the edge without feeling ready?

It was hard for Haru to face the others and respond because he was yet to come into terms with his own feelings towards swimming (as he said later on ep13).

I commend Makoto for being the one to address Haru's lack of direction without readily forcing the idea of sticking to swimming. He's always been gentle when trying to bring up the issue, always kind and considerate not only to Haru but also to everybody. He cares so much about Haru that he went out of his way to tell Rin about the situation after that sudden fight during the festival.

Rin also realized his mistake and was able to communicate better with Haru during the trip in Australia. What connects them is beyond rivalry, making their relationship a very frank one. It was Rin who blasted the door that Haru was hesitating to open. Haru found his own dream, that he also wants to take on the world of swimming after all. And a part of me believes that even if harurinralia trip didn't happen, Rin would still be able to pull Haru out of the dark.

I want to give this a good conclusion but there's something I can't help but notice. Things were neatly wrapped up for Haru by the end of Eternal Summer; him finding his dream and finally (albeit slowly) approaching swimming the same way as other swimmers do. But it is also the same spell that scarred his still-young and fragile fixation towards winning. No wonder came the repeated conflict in Final Stroke movies.
