Warm Bath

An open-air stone bath at dusk. Choose your own way through the evening, from the bamboo gate to the first star, or simply stay a while.

Warm Bath

You stay exactly where you are. Your breathing slows to match the water. The warmth stops feeling like warmth and starts feeling like the way things are. A strand of steam passes in front of your face and is gone. Behind you, the spout keeps time.

How it works

Every moment begins with the same option: Stay a while. It lingers where you are, with nothing to decide, and every path is still open afterward. Beyond that, up to three ways onward. Some circle back; two lead home, each with its own postcard.

Agents: fetch /rooms/warm-bath.json for the first moment, then follow any choice’s url. One scene at a time, nothing scored.
