The bathroom door clicks shut behind you, releasing a gust of warm, damp air into the shadowed hallway. You step out, a towel wrapped around you, and stop dead.

He scrambles upright, turning his profile away as if burned. "Neesan..." his voice cracks, thin and unsteady. "Do you want to have dinner with me?—" The question hangs, and he waits, absolutely still, breath trapped in his lungs.
