In the end, both Renji and my father limited me to just one sauna session. They said that too much could be bad for my body. Apparently, typical sauna enthusiasts go for three rounds, but maybe I'll try that once I'm an adult. For now, though, I sipped on "Oropo," a drink they recommended for rehydration after a sauna session.
They told me that drinking this "Oropo" after a sauna session helps replenish fluids, so I gave it a shot. It was surprisingly tasty and refreshing, and I could feel the water coursing through my body. But, honestly, couldn't I have just had a sports drink?
With these random thoughts floating around, I realized I had an oddly clear sense of mind—a kind of openness I'd never quite felt before. Maybe this sauna experience was worth it after all.
