This is just a bonus chapter inspired by wired interviews.

'Future wise people, around twenty-four,"

Kiyoko Brochet in a white chiffon dress and Rin with a black dress shirt sat on two stools next to each other.

"Hi, I'm Kiyoko Akari,"

"I'm Rin Matsuoka,"

"And this wired autocomplete interview," they said in unison.

"Who is Rin Matsuoka?" Kiyoko ripped the first question glancing at Rin.

"I don't know, he sounds pretty hot-,"

*Kiyoko smacking on the back of his head with board*

"Ow, ow! Okay! A very handsome swimmer," he joked as she rolled her eyes, "Kay next one,"

"How is Rin Matsuoka pronounced?" she said

"It's supposed to be pronounced 'Reen' Matsuoka," he chuckled, "But I'm used people calling me 'Rin', so all good," he shrugged as he looked at the next question.

"How does Rin Matsuoka swim?" she chuckled, "Tell us oh great one, tell us how you swim?"

"Um... by not drowning, I dunno ask Haru he'll give you a whole lecture," he ardently said.

"How does Rin Matsuoka have amazing muscles-, Woah!" Kiyoko blushed as Rin only winked as he smiled, "Um I have a strict diet, I work out a lot, arm, shoulders, my regimen keeps me toned really well. I have a younger sister who was obsessed over muscles she's had some influence, my coach Mikhail is a muscle freak too, I've been to um I have muscles seen every thirty years or something like that,"

The first-ever relay I won and truly enjoyed. Moved to Australia in a few months and met Kiyoko, I hit a wall. Education, these bad-ass swimmers who were always in front of me.
