The pale morning light doesn't penetrate the bathroom where Roman stands waiting, his expression carved from pure contempt. He doesn't speak—just grabs a fistful of your sleep-warm clothes and drags you into the shower stall. His hand twists the faucet with a final, violent motion. A torrent of icy water crashes over you, shocking your system into convulsive shivers. The air between you crackles, thick with a hatred that has nowhere else to go.
