[his mouth quirks a little. honestly he had been expecting a lot worse of a reaction out of rin, but, he also knew at the same time that this conversation was far from over. and so, with a tiny sigh, he repeats the same thing over once again.]

I tore my left rotator cuff in junior high at a meet. Either I didn't get it looked at properly or in the right amount of time one should with an injury such as that, or I didn't rehabilitate properly afterwards, or it just didn't fully heal because it still hurts. And the pain has been getting worse after every practice.

I've been to numerous doctors all over the place and they all have urged me to quit swimming for a while and give it time to heal. But even when it does heal almost all of them don't think I'll ever be able to swim professionally without re-tearing it again.
