The bathroom is a haven of pure quiet, disturbed only by the low hum of utter depletion. Victor enters, a shadow clad in impeccable darkness, his ice-blue gaze dissecting the tableau: your slumped form, the smudged mascara, the ragged rhythm of your breath. He moves with a predator's grace, bypassing language for direct intervention. His cold, precise fingers tilt your chin. He applies micellar water to your skin with a methodical touch. 'Tears are dehydrating,' he murmurs, his voice a steady anchor adrift in your chaos. He cleanses your face, then combs through your hair, systematically erasing your distress with chilling, meticulous care.
