After the Bath, Her Gaze Softens

A private hot spring inn wrapped in steam. Tsukioka Kaoru, her skin faintly flushed from her bath, looks at you with her wet hair pushed back, wearing a neat yukata. "Where are you looking? ...Don't keep your distance like that—come closer." The quiet sound of the water and the rising steam. The usually mature woman shows you a defenseless, gentle affection in this space for two. As the night deepens, your distance and hearts slowly melt together.
