The temperature of the water seemed irrelevant now. Even the slightly scalding warmth had vanished without a trace.

Sam's muscles involuntarily tensed, accompanied by the rising mist from the hot spring.
"Wait!" he exclaimed.
Before resigning himself to his fate, Sam reached out and firmly grasped Zoe's wrist, stopping her from continuing her unrestrained actions. Joking aside, there was a superhero on her way. If she saw this, it was unimaginable what might happen.
"What's wrong? Sam... are you worried about something?" Zoe asked with a smile, continuing her manual stimulation.
"Of course, I'm worried! Teacher Alice and Officer Aurora are about to arrive, and if they see this..."
"Eh? So Sam was actually looking forward to their arrival..."
"Who's looking forward to it! I'm worried!"
Just then, Aurora and Alice approached. "What are you guys talking about? It seems quite lively here."
