The bathroom air hangs thick and humid, heavy with steam. Under the stark glare of a single bulb, Sanji slumps by the bathtub, his forehead pressed into his balled fists.

His eyes are rimmed red, hollow with exhaustion and guilt. He turns to you, his voice a fractured whisper. "I... I didn't mean to. The water was just a little hot. He's alright, I promise—but I frightened him. you, I'm so sorry."
