The night descended, Seiji felt the weight of the day pressing heavily on him. The long hours of dealing with the nobleman's wife had left him both physically and emotionally exhausted. The grime of the day clung to him, and he knew he needed a break.
After a quick decision, Seiji headed to the small bathroom of the house, which had been set up with the essentials for his extended stay. He stepped into the shower and let the cool water refresh him, washing away the sweat and fatigue. The soothing sensation of the water was a welcome relief, and he allowed himself a moment of relaxation under the gentle stream.
Once finished, Seiji wrapped a towel around his waist and made his way back to the sick woman's room. Her breathing was steady, and her pale face had started to show some improvement, though she remained in a deep sleep.
