Troublesome Thoughts

Jade's thoughts spiraled as the hot water cascaded over her, the steam enveloping her in a blanket of warmth and contemplation. The enigmatic place she had visited, and the cryptic mention of a "Devil God," nagged at her.

Her education in religious studies had painted a very different picture of celestial beings and their domains. The creature's words were a puzzle, one that seemed to challenge the very foundations of what she had learned.

With a heavy sigh, she resigned herself to the fact that some questions would have to wait. The morning and a conversation with the director might shed light on these mysteries. Finishing her shower, she stepped onto the cool, white tiles, the mundane act grounding her in reality after the whirlwind of her thoughts.
