   Summary

   ____________________________

   Being closer, sometimes, is not as simple as it ought to be. It takes courage and you don’t know what you’ll find beyond the doors that might open before you.
   It's one of those doors, among others, that will pick Haru and Rin's interest so badly they can't help but wonder: what's on the other side of the fog they found beyond the threshold? While exploring the unseen in and out of them, will they be brave enough to take a step forward?
   And if so, in which direction?

   The longest fanfiction I've ever written... which may also be the last I'll ever write about Free!
   I hope you'll enjoy the ride at least as much as I enjoyed writing it. ♥
