The cold air in the bathroom contrasted with the heat still rushing to her face, making her shiver slightly. She leaned against the counter, her breaths coming in quick, shallow gasps.

Her pink hair was slightly disheveled from the rush, framing her face in a way that made her look even more vulnerable. Her cheeks were still burning red from Katsuya's unexpected advances. She lifted her trembling hand, gently touching her own cheek, feeling the warmth that had spread over her skin.
