Fushimi Roku and Minamoto Tamako walked one behind the other on the sidewalk, neither speaking a word.
After reaching home, Minamoto Tamako opened the door first and stepped inside; Fushimi Roku followed closely, and they stood face to face at the bathroom door.
"Why don't you go first?" Minamoto Tamako said softly.
Switching back from work mode, she remembered her dreams and felt it was a bit awkward being alone with Fushimi Roku.
"Alright."
Fushimi Roku didn't stand on ceremony and went into the bathroom to take a shower. Actually, he didn't need to shower at this hour, but Minamoto Tamako always felt it was unclean to go to bed without showering, so he accommodated her.
After he finished showering while humming a song and opened the bathroom door, the room was empty, and Minamoto Tamako was nowhere to be seen.
Fushimi Roku found it a bit inexplicable and peeked into the living room, but Minamoto Tamako wasn't there either.
Strange, where could she be?
