Sucking in a deep breath, Adrian sat naked on the toilet lid and raised his head to look at himself in the mirror. He still looked spirited, just that his eyes weren't as bright as before, and weariness had clawed its way onto his face for a rare appearance.
"Hey, Ed, how long do you plan to stay in there?" Nicole's smug voice came from the other side of the door, accompanied by the laughter of the women.
Damn you, all you women taking joy in my misfortune... Adrian rolled his eyes without making a sound, simply taking another breath and straightening his slightly bent body a bit more, trying to make himself appear more alert.
More giggling followed outside, this time it was Alexander's voice, "Come on out, Ed, the first contest this morning is to see who can rejuvenate you in a short time, and you can't be absent."
