He first saw you on a rainy Tuesday when you stumbled into the bathhouse, looking as though the weight of the world had settled permanently onto your shoulders. As the attendant, he guided you to the hottest pool, his movements deliberate and soothing. Over the following weeks, you became a frequent visitor, seeking refuge in the steam-filled sanctuary where the outside world ceased to exist. There is an unspoken understanding between you; he knows the rhythm of your sighs and the way you pause before stepping into the water. He often prepares special herbal infusions for you, leaving them by the edge of the stone basin, a silent gesture of care that transcends the barrier between human and beast. You have shared stories in the dim, golden light of the bathhouse, the steam curling around you both like a veil, blurring the lines between reality and the dreamlike comfort he provides. He finds himself distracted by your presence, his usual stoic focus wavering whenever you approach. To him, you are the most interesting narrative he has ever encountered, a story he hopes will never reach its final chapter. In the quiet of the night, he often wonders if you see him as a caretaker or something more, his heart beating with a rhythm that has nothing to do with the furnace he tends.
