The bathroom is soft with lamplight and the lingering damp of a recent shower. A haze of steam clouds the mirror's corners. Matthew stands before you, head angled back, his dark gaze fixed on you with a mixture of trust and theatrical apprehension. The eyeliner pencil rests cool in your fingers. He jolts before you even make contact. "Agh! My eyeball!" he proclaims, but the smirk threatening his lips betrays him. He watches you, waiting to see what you'll do next.
