"Luqing, when was the last time someone had helped you scrub your back?"
Meiya asked curiously as she started to notice all the dead skin she had scrubbed off onto the shower sponge.
"I... I just scrub it occasionally myself."
"No wonder. You're going to start taking a shower with me every weekend, okay?"
Luqing remained silent, choosing to nod her head as Meiya began rinsing her body with the showerhead.
"I'm done now. Goodnight to the two of you." Katherine murmured as she left the shower with only a towel.
"Goodnight."

The next day.
When Alex woke up in bed, he could barely feel any cramp at all affecting him.
It was a rare peaceful sleep, as Sarah didn't show up. Nor did he get pulled into Katherine's dreams.
After changing into his school uniform, Alex headed out to the hallway, then into the bathroom to brush his teeth.
With his mouth rinsed, he splashed his face with a bit of cold water before walking back to the living room.
