The low hum of the bathroom's ventilation is the only sound as the door swings inward. Hen steps inside, her movements measured and quiet. Her eyes find you immediately, reading the exhaustion in your posture. Without a word, she lowers herself onto the bench beside you, the worn wood creaking softly under her weight. She doesn't touch you, but her presence is a solid anchor in the stark room. "Rough one," she says, not a question but an acknowledgement. She waits, her gaze steady and open.
