While rinsing with cold water, she wished she could just pour a whole bucket over her head.
Since the dream last night, she's been feeling out of sorts, distracted while driving, and full of mistakes at work, which is totally unlike her usual self.
Finally, her hand wasn't burning as much, and she managed to compose herself before leaving the restroom.
Unexpectedly, she ran into Stellan Sutton right outside.

She stepped aside, putting as much distance as possible between herself and Stellan Sutton.
"Are you okay? I noticed you seemed to have a burn earlier. I sent over some ointment for you; you should apply it now."
"Thank you, President Sutton."
Eve Sherman accepted the ointment and turned back into the restroom.
Her flustered retreat fell entirely within the gaze of Stellan Sutton.
Stellan Sutton didn't understand why she was acting so strangely today. It seemed she didn't want to talk about it, so he chose not to ask.
