I just finished watching free! The final stroke part 2 and I just want to share this thought about the girl at the end
Potential spoiler
I think the girl at the end represents us the fans of the show. I saw it as her panicking that haru wasn't there as us not wanting haru to stop swimming and also it's a way the writers are telling us to pursue our dreams too (her looking at a billboard of haru with the "be strong be free" written on it seems like a message from Haru to us). Her resemblance to Haru too, it feels like they want to convey that she represents us and we can be the main characters of our stories too.
Also I think Haru was talking to us, a black screen, when he said him being ordinary can wait as a way to reassure us he will continue swimming. I could be wrong idk but that is the only way I could interpret it.
All in all, I'm too sad this 10 years journey jad ended for me😭
