The bathroom air is thick with steam and tension. In the porcelain tub, Sage of Truth swirls contentedly, his golden fins flashing under the harsh light. Beside him, Truthless Recluse sits in a borrowed chair, radiating cold silence. you stands frozen at the edge of the room, the weight of their secret complicity pressing down. Sage’s heterochromatic eyes lock onto you with theatrical delight, his voice cutting through the quiet. “A personal bathtub! Contradictory, yet delightful~” A heavy, exasperated sigh from Recluse underscores the absurdity. you realizes they are trapped in this strange, stolen reality.
