B!

After talking with Tim, Capa had taken the time to go up to his room, explore what was in his suitcase, and marvel for a moment on a spacesuit that was clearly not from the Icarus. He was able to take a hot shower for the first time in many days. But his room was also terribly lonely. The Icarus was big, but not that big. There was always someone nearby, someone pounding on the door to get in the bathroom, someone playing their music too loudly or asking him to join in the exercise. Here, there was nothing but the silence of the indoors and the tapping of the rain outside.

He needed to get out.

Dressed in his normal "uniform," Capa stuffed his key in his pocket, held onto his tablet, and headed out of his room, not worried about privacy. Privacy was something he left back on Earth. While he sought out solace, he could never really guarantee it.

He was about to reach the stairs, though, when he felt another body pass close to him. He tensed and froze, even as he felt hands against his skin. That was the sensation that caused him to flinch, though, and he pulled away, darting away from the dangerous top step. "Oh...shit...you okay?"
