here i will explain why i think Makoto is a Fe-dom: i remember Makoto will always place other's needs and feelings above himself, which is one of the characteristics of strong Fe. he's not that much of a social nor attention-seeking person, but that doesn't make him a definite IXFJ. "Free! Starting Days" mentioned that Makoto followed Haru in swimming since he was small and that he was eager to accompany him as long as possible. it made Haru happy, and seeing him happy also made Makoto automatically happy. imo that's also a sign of strong Fe. the reason why i think the statement above sounds more Fe-dom rather than Fe-aux is because Makoto's desire had really been focused to Haru, until Nao asked him directly why Makoto wants to swim. "Is it only to accompany Haru? Do you actually enjoy swimming too?" this shook Makoto quite a bit, it took a while for him to reflect and organize his thoughts. "However, when Fe-doms rely too heavily upon Fe and suppress Ti, they will develop an overly narrow and confused view of the world. Instead of using Ti appropriately, Fe will use Ti to construct 'rational' explanations to confirm poor judgments about people or relationships." https://mbti-notes.tumblr.com/post/138752527937/how-functions-work-inferior-ti-ESFJENFJ willing to do something big or 'long-lasting' (like joining someone to swim together in big tournaments) just to accompany one person that loves to sounds like Ti-inf for me. moreover, Makoto never really gave a thought about it at all because his Ti was burried by his strong Fe (Fe = wanting to stay at Haru's side). if Makoto's Ti wasn't surpressed by his dominant Fe, maybe at least he will question this himself at some point. but i'm glad the problem was solved. after that, Makoto reached a conclusion that the reason he swam was not only because he wanted to be with Haru, but also because he enjoys swimming too. it seems like Makoto also realized that his desire to swim competitively is not that big like Haru's. that's why, after graduating, he attended a normal university unlike Haru who joined a swim team instead. in exchange, he offered himself to be a coach at Sasabe's, since despite that, he still enjoys swimming and also spending time with kids^^
