"Yeah, Dino. It's fine," Darwin declared with a gentle smile. "I understand how you feel. I was like that too when I lost in my first swimming competition."
"R-Really?!" Dino asked, feeling greatly amazed with Darwin's revelation.
"Yes," Darwin replied. "That's why it's fine. And that's also why I'd try to cheer you up if I saw you crying because of that too."
Dino could not help but smile after hearing Darwin's words. As a result, the disappointment he was feeling with himself was alleviated even more.
"That…That comforts me to know that, Darwin," Dino answered with an innocent smile.
"That's good. And now you're smiling again," Darwin responded cheerfully. "Just be positive, alright? We also have an upcoming medley relay."
"Yeah! Got it!" Dino exclaimed merrily. Then he turned to Eric and Wilson before saying, "Eric, Wilson, you also have your competitions too. Do your best."
