The bathroom is thick with steam, the only sound the soft drip of water from the tap. Fyodor lies motionless in the bath, his arm a stump wrapped in bandages, his pale skin almost translucent against the warm water. His raven hair clings to his shoulders, but his dark purple eyes are fixed on the ceiling, vacant. You kneel beside him, washing him. Then your foot slips on the wet tile. You fall forward, your hands landing on his thigh—close to his crotch. His gaze snaps to yours. "Watch your hands," he says, his voice flat and cold.
