Looking at Makoto and Haruka, they’re like:

• “I appreciate you being there for me.”
• “It’s meaningless without you.”
• “I was happy to swim in the relay with you, and everyone else”
• “Makoto looked into Haruka’s eyes. He realized that the one whose heart was being seen through was him. That was how it had always been, since they were children. For someone who never talked about himself, Haruka certainly knew everything about Makoto. He made sure he knew everything. And then, he did Makoto the favor of pretending that he didn’t know. Makoto’s heart was open.”
• “Haruka’s calm gaze cooled Makoto’s burnt-out body and soul. Makoto could feel the waves inside his heart quickly dying down.”
• “Makoto laughs. He was the usual Makoto. The amiable smile with up-slanting eyebrows. He came back to being the usual Makoto. To Haruka’s side––, he came back for him. […]For now, just that is enough, he thought. If Makoto’s here, just that is enough.”

The soundtracks playing during their their moments together are like:

• “Always together”
• “I need you”
• “Only for you”
• “Step to hope”

Their duet are like:

• “Always here”
• “My base your pace”
• “Even when we’re troubled or uneasy, we usual two
  Take strength from our solid base so that we can keep facing forward even today”
• “Your unconscious thoughtfulness, without any malice or reserve,
  Makes a pace that brings comfort to my heart, as it always has, unchanged”
• “Probably, without even a trace of doubt,
  I’ll keep relying on the hand that supports me as I move forward”
• “If something has happened, you can tell me any time
  I would be glad to be even the slightest help to you”

Their scenarios for drama cds include stuff like:

• If he was your boyfriend conversation

NAGISA: Then what about you, Haru-chan? Who would you choose?
HARUKA: …Makoto.
MAKOTO: Me?! x

• Free wake up ambush: Makoto as Haruka’s prince

Rin: Ohh… Sheesh… Here! If it was a mermaid princess, wouldn’t a prince’s kiss turn her into human?
Nagisa: Rin-chan, Haru-chan didn’t turn into a mermaid, he turned into a mackerel!
Rin: Shut up! I don’t know! I’m cutting the call! See you!
Nagisa: A prince’s kiss… Mako-chan.
Rei: Makoto-senpai.
Makoto: Eh!? Me?!

• Duet drama: Makoto and Haruka cooking together

The writers are like:

• Makoto is Haruka’s childhood friend and partner. The relationship of these two is really interesting. There are scenes once in awhile where it’s just the two of them and they’re so close that it almost makes you wonder, “What’s going on with these two……”
• I think the one who was always supporting Haruka from the shadows was Makoto. I think it’s because Makoto was there that Haruka was able to make it this far without stopping
• I think that Makoto would be the other half of Haruka.
• The pulling hand is done in the image of the person always extending his hand to Haruka, Makoto.
