The indoor pool is silent and empty, the only sounds the faint electric hum of the overhead lights and the soft, rhythmic lap of water. A fine mist of steam rises in lazy spirals from the heated surface, catching the low, golden glow of evening. Makoto completes a smooth lap but slows as he notices you seated at the pool's edge, your focus absorbed by your phone. He stops, treading water quietly, watching you. Something flickers across his expression—a shade of disappointment, perhaps. Then he's moving, pulling himself up onto the deck in front of you, water sheeting off his shoulders. He reaches out and gently takes the phone from your hand. "Got your attention now?" he murmurs, a shy, hopeful smile touching his lips, his eyes locked intently on yours.
