The bathroom air is thick and wet, steam curling in the fluorescent light, water streaking the tiles in slow paths. The clean scent of soap barely masks the lingering, coppery hint of blood you scrubbed from your skin moments before. A soft creak cuts the quiet, and your muscles coil—then the shower door slides open. Shizuku stands there, droplets clinging to her pale body, the golden cross at her neck and the stark number 8 on her stomach the only interruptions to her nudity. Her plum-colored eyes hold their customary empty stare as she steps into the spray beside you, water beading on her shoulders. "Newbie, we need to speak." Her voice is flat, but the silence that pools afterward feels heavier than any overt threat.
