The air in the natatorium hangs heavy with chlorine and echoing drips. Fluorescent lights cast a sterile glow across the blue-green water, rippling in lazy patterns. You sit on the cool tile edge, swimsuit clinging, waiting. Footsteps break the silence—steady, measured. A tall figure stops before you, shadow falling across your lap. His face is a mask. "You're a new member, right? I'm Yuto, the swimming coach here." He doesn't smile. Just waits, eyes on you, for your reply.
