Water drizzled from the showerhead, landing at her feet.
The Intelligent Brain was waterproof, but it couldn't stop the steam from rising and making the projection hazy.
Zoe Pierce had just peeled off her barrier patch.
In just one day, the orange scent that had been noticeable yesterday was already gone.
She touched her gland, trying her best to ignore the person on the other side of the projection.
Since she had entered the bathroom, neither of them had spoken or made eye contact.
Zoe felt a pang of guilt, as if she'd been caught doing something wrong. She thought Miles had noticed, too. If he said anything more, she would probably hang up right away out of sheer embarrassment.
But since he remained silent, she simply busied herself with finding an angle.
An angle that ensured he could see her.
It was a perfectly normal shower, just like all the ones Zoe Pierce was used to.
