Summary
Rin is drowning.
Sae, his parents, the expectations and desperation he imposed on himself to be the very best and finally prove himself to be worth something, anything, was really starting to take its toll… and it seemed that the U-20 match had been the final crack in Rin’s already sinking boat; in the only thing keeping him afloat and safe from the tumulus waves of emotions crashing around in his own mind like a never ending storm which had only one purpose: to drown him for good.
Day by day, each cold, dismissive glance, each sharp, biting word from what-used-to-be his older brother’s unloving, uncaring mouth continued to chip and crack away at Rin’s mind; at that metaphorical boat that kept him from falling into the cold, unforgiving ocean that threatens to swallow him up into its icy, murky depths for all of eternity… and at some point, that prospect stopped seeming so scary.
Or:
Rin is drowning in the darkness of his own mind, and when Sae comes to visit with seemingly the only purpose of tormenting him further, will Rin be able to fight against the pull of the tides, or will he open his arms and accept its call willingly… letting it steal away his last breath?
