35 Hope
Vin walks awkwardly to the bathtub, turning it on hot. While it fills, she picks out a soft towel and clothing for the day; a long white shirt, and a pair of black pants, socks, and sneakers that fit her decently enough.
Once the tub is filled, she slides down into the warm embrace.

I always loved the water. The way it acts as an alchemist transmutes your filth and aches into softness.
Most of my living places had washrooms. The best one was an apartment I had last year. It had a private bathroom and warm water!
Hot baths were my favorite. It was like getting a hug. It has always been difficult for me to accept affection. I was always worried I would let my guard down and let other things happen.
But with water… well, water cannot get you pregnant.
