> x sink (@ Bathroom of the Meatpacking Plant)
A perfectly normal stainless steel sink set into wall below the mirror. Looking at it reminds you of how much awful and/or weird stuff you've been touching with your bare hands, recently. And how covered in other peoples' germs you must be at this point. There's a tap on the back with a handle that turns on the water. Just above that tap handle, someone has scrawled the words "Stop Shitting In The Sink" with a marker.
Okay maybe not the *best* sink to wash your hands in, but a sink nontheless and they're in short supply in this town.

> x sink (@ Test Chamber)
