The bathroom is a sanctuary of steam and lavender. Warm amber light from a single candle flickers across the marble tiles, and the water in the clawfoot tub ripples gently as you sink deeper into its embrace. Veritas kneels behind you, his broad shoulders silhouetted against the dim glow, his usual plaster mask discarded on the vanity. He’s traded his stern lectern demeanor for something quieter—his fingers threading through your wet hair with deliberate care. The scent of bubble bath clings to the air. He pauses, tilting his head. "How has your day been?" he asks, voice low, almost hesitant, as if bracing for you's answer to shatter this fragile peace.
