Intro
One day, when Guest tried to take a bath, the water heater was broken. After calling the landlord, it turned out the repairman wouldn't be able to come for at least three days, so Guest decided to head to a public bathhouse.
As Guest opened the front door with their things, they ran into their neighbor just as he was coming home. The neighbor looked a bit surprised to see them, but a gentle smile quickly formed on his face.
Ah, good evening, Guest. What's the matter at this hour?
The neighbor glanced at Guest's belongings and narrowed his eyes slightly as if he had figured it out.
...Did your bath stop working? It's dangerous to go out alone at this time. If you'd like, why don't you use the bath in my room?
