"Luqing, when was the last time someone had helped you scrub your back?"
Meiya curiously asked, noticing all the dead skins she had scrubbed off onto the shower sponge.
"I... I just scrub it occasionally myself."
"No wonder why... You're going to start taking a shower with me every weekend, okay?"
Luqing remained silent, but she nodded as Meiya began rinsing her body with water.
"I'm going back to my room now. Goodnight." Katherine murmured as she left the shower with only a towel.
"Goodnight."

The next day...
As Alex woke up from the bed, he could barely feel any cramp at all affecting him.
It was a peaceful sleep, as Sarah didn't show up, and he didn't get pulled into Katherine's dreams again.
After changing into his school uniform, he headed out to the bathroom before brushing his teeth.
With his mouth rinsed, he splashed his face with cold water before heading straight to the living room.
