Ablution - A ceremonial act of washing parts of the body or sacred containers

Perdition

It was an indescribable feeling, passing between worlds. Almost like that moment when you dive headlong into the water, and the feeling of it washing over every inch of your skin, slowly rolling down your body to consume you. Almost like the moment when you set down your paintbrush and realize you've created something so breathtaking that's it's got an edge of magic embedded within its very being. But more, and less.

That would be perdition for her; failing. After having come so far, to lose him again, or never find him at all, was an unbearable thought.

Chihiro closed her eyes, breathing deeply for a moment to try to ground herself in this world that was so foreign and so familiar at the same time.

She could do this. She had to. Failure was not an option; she couldn't live like this anymore.
