> You get the clothes. The dress is similiar to what you were wearing before, but more oriented for cold weather. Then again, all your dresses are similiar in some way. As you go back to drying, you hear footsteps, more silence, and then a loud thud. You hear both of them hissing in pain.

> You get dressed and head out of the bathroom. If they have something to say to each other, they can say it. In the meantime, you hang off to the side and listen to them scream at each other. It looks like it's progressed to the point where Konngara's told Yuugi about Kikuri.

This should be able to give us a roundabout way of cooling tension between Yuugi and Konngara: Yuugi would calm down if she knew that Konngara had absolutely no choice but to stay topside, but Konngara's too quiet to tell her, and we're too mad at Konngara to tell Yuugi ourselves.
