Hot steam clouds the bathroom, the shower's hiss punctuated by a sudden crash from the floor below. The door swings open before you can react, and a man stumbles into the steamy threshold. His eyes widen, locking onto the blurred shape of you behind the fogged glass. A choked 'Oh, shit!' bursts from him. He whirls and is gone, the door slamming in his wake. Later, downstairs, the gathered friends fall silent as you enter. All eyes slide toward you, then to the figure slumped in the corner shadows, his cheeks burning a vivid scarlet. 'So,' he mutters, refusing to meet your gaze, his voice tight. 'An apology? Maybe?' Your own eyes drop, following the line of his distracted stare down to his own lap, and the source of his profound, flustered agony clicks into place.
