An eight-page short story about someone beginning to come to terms with growing older because fe gets to be with the person fe loves, even though feir living conditions are still worse than what fe'd hoped they'd be like by this point in feir life. It's a manga without a plot, more showing a snapshot of daily life than anything. Looking back on it, I'm not sure why they're bathing together if it's so cramped. But perhaps for them, bathing together is an act of intimacy and connection similar to eating together.
