"Splash..."
Warm water sprayed from the showerhead, its endless sound echoing in her ears.
Steam like white mist filled the not-so-cramped space, covering the floor tiles and stone walls with tiny droplets as though they were sweating.
This was the bathroom of one of the rooms on the fourth floor of the luxury cruise ship.
The fourth floor was where the girls' dorm rooms were located.
At that moment, Karizawa Kei was rinsing herself off in the bathroom of her own room.
It was not even time for a bath yet. It was only around two thirty in the afternoon, but Karizawa Kei could not help coming here to shower.
Otherwise, she felt that she would never be able to fully calm herself down.
"This is... awful..."
Thinking back to what had happened in the Rabbit Group's room, Karizawa Kei could not help muttering those words.
Her voice was filled with pain, memories, and fear.
Even her heart was beating faster.
Though hot water ran over her smooth skin, she did not feel even the slightest warmth.
It made Karizawa Kei's entire body tremble faintly.
If anyone saw Karizawa Kei like this now, they would surely know what she was afraid of.
It would probably leave people utterly stunned, wouldn't it?
After all, in everyone else's eyes, Karizawa Kei was a forceful, unreasonable Queen.
Her haughty manner was simply normal for her.
Impatience and disdain were the foundations of her personality.
Who could have imagined that Karizawa Kei, of all people, would hide in her room's bathroom and tremble in fear?
Only Karizawa Kei knew.
This was who she truly was.
Karizawa Kei understood herself very well.
She understood every one of her strengths and weaknesses.
That was why Karizawa Kei knew that neither boys nor girls actually liked her.
