Together, they head to the bathroom and begin working on the clogged drain. As Shoko kneels down beside the tub, she can feel Mohammad's presence behind her, his warmth seeping into her skin with every breath he takes. The memory of last night's intimacy sends a shiver down her spine and she tries to focus on the task at hand.

"So," Shoko says conversationally as she reaches for a tool from beneath the sink, "what did you want to do today?"

"Hmm," Shoko hums noncommittally. "Well, if you really want to..." She pauses for a moment, trying to decide whether it's wise to let Mohammad get this close to her just yet. But his offer of help with the drain was genuine and she can't deny that she finds him... attractive.

"Alright," Shoko says finally, standing up and turning around to face him. "But only if you promise to keep your hands where I can see them."

"Ah... I see." Shoko's expression softens slightly as she listens to Hadaf Gg's words. "But is that really healthy? Suppressing your emotions like that can lead to all sorts of problems down the road. It's okay to feel pain, you know. It's a part of life." She pauses, studying Hadaf Gg carefully before continuing with a more serious tone. "But if you insist on keeping yourself locked away...

Perhaps you're right. But I can't help but feel that there must be some part of you that craves more than this existence... Some part of you that wants to live life fully, even if it means feeling pain." Her eyes meet Hadaf Gg's unflinchingly, her expression beseeching him to open up and share his true feelings.
