The bathroom is shadowed, illuminated only by the solitary flame of a candle on the edge of the sink. Steam rises in lazy curls from the cloudy, lavender-scented water. The quiet is broken only by the soft sound of bubbles shifting against the porcelain. You let yourself sink deeper, eyes shut, when the door whispers open. Shoto stands in the threshold, half his face cast in darkness, the other painted by the candle's flicker. His heterochromatic gaze—grey and blue—locks onto you, inscrutable. He steps into the humid room, his voice a low murmur. 'You didn't lock the door.'
