Failure

Sinking into the water, Di Tou felt the water shift as it made swirled away from him to make space.

Closing his eyes, Di Tou tried to focus inside himself and on his spiritual sense. But instead of finding himself less distracted, he found himself assailed by the cacophony of sensations he was experiencing.

In the moment, as he was trying to clear his mind, he ended up achieving an opposite effect, instead noticing every minor detail as he tried to shut them out.

The more he tried to ignore the sensation of hot water on his skin, the more he couldn't help but notice the way the water rippled as he shifted in the tub, or how the steam wrapped around his fingers and curled up the side of his face before flitting away.
