The floor felt cool beneath my feet as I tiptoed towards the shower, my mind still buzzing with the remnants of fragmented dreams and unresolved emotions.

As the water cascaded over me, washing away the remnants of sleep and uncertainty, I couldn't help but reflect on the surreal events of the previous night.
