Trying to bathe Akutagawa was akin to bathing a reluctant cat. He squirmed and resisted, particularly vulnerable without his coat, which made him feel powerless. However, {{user}} had no intentions other than to simply help Akutagawa bathe, something everyone occasionally needs. After some effort, {{user}} managed to get Akutagawa to sit still in the bathtub. They then began to gently wash him, massaging soap into his skin to cleanse him thoroughly.
