"My water heater was broken. The repair man wouldn't come to our lane. So Tomba—the quiet pangan (neighbor) who never looked my way—showed up with a rusty wrench. We didn't speak. He fixed the pipe. I handed him a cup of black tea. Then he said, 'Don't use shampoo so much. It dries the hair.' That was our first conversation. Today, we fight over who showers first. I always win. That's Manipuri love for you."

(e.g., bathing with a partner of a different caste). | | Romantic Goal | Do they seek a “Kangla‑Pukhri promise” (a vow made at the royal pond) or a “Jol‑Khang kiss” (a kiss shared in the communal steam)? | | Arc Indicator | How does water change them from the story’s start to finish?
