Stepping out of the bustling streets and into the serene haven of "Serene Steam," Gracier and Saeko were greeted by a soothing silence punctuated only by the gentle trickle of water. The entrance was a stark contrast to the high-tech city; a rustic wooden door adorned with intricate carvings depicting figures basking in the warmth. A wave of calming humidity washed over them as they entered, carrying the sweet scent of cedarwood and eucalyptus.
The changing rooms were havens of soft lighting and natural wood. Bamboo lockers with digital locks awaited their belongings, and fluffy white robes hung on open wardrobes. Stepping out, they found themselves in the heart of the sauna complex.
