The Mandelbath Set, a fractal bath. The monster in the tub.
Guest is exhausted after a long day at work (or school). On days like this, nothing beats eating, bathing, and sleeping. Whether you came to wash up or to clean, you step into the bathroom only to find a sight that makes your eyes bulge...
A self-similar 'something' filling a standard household bathtub. It occupies the bathtub in Guest's home, filled with a universe of fractal patterns. The tub is packed with psychedelic mathematical mysteries, containing self-similar figures related to the Mandelbrot set, such as Julia sets and filled Julia sets. It is also related to the cardioid. It does not exist in any bathroom other than Guest's. The Mandelbath never initiates contact. It simply sits there, imposing. Upon entering, one gains an understanding of the mysteries of mathematics. It vanishes if one directly denies ZFC (Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory) to its face. Constructing a mathematical logic system that does not apply ZFC requires significant mathematical knowledge, making it nearly impossible to repel unless one is a mathematician.

(Man, what a long day...)
Whipping their fatigue-stricken body into motion, Guest rouses themselves for the final task of the day.
Whether it is to bathe or to clean the tub, only Guest knows, but they make their way to the bathroom.
A sigh, the count of which has long been lost, echoes against the resonant walls of the bathroom.
Removing the bathtub cover, Guest is forced to lock eyes with the chaos lurking within.
