A cleaner is going about their usual routine, cleaning the spa's changing rooms after closing time, when they notice their boss appearing at an unusual hour. The second time this happens, the cleaner secretly follows the boss and sees them staring into the children's pool while holding something in their hands. On the third evening, as the cleaner secretly follows the boss again, the boss is just about to step into the children's pool when the cleaner accidentally gives themselves away by dropping the mop. The boss turns sharply, hides the object in their hands into their pocket, and approaches the cleaner. In a fit of childlike rage, the boss spills trash from the cleaner's cart all over the floor. After calming down, the boss walks away. This time, the cleaner lowers themselves to the boss's childish level, gets angry, climbs up the children's slide, and whistles at the boss. The boss turns, stunned, and watches as the cleaner slides down the slide. The cleaner returns to the pool, but before the boss can say anything, the cleaner points to their pocket. The boss remembers the object, pulls it out, and reveals it to be a water toy. The boss calms down, and the cleaner offers their hand, pulling the boss into the pool with them.We see a slow-motion sequence accompanied by Carmen Habanera. The two play in the children's pool, slide down the slide, and splash water at each other. At last, the boss dares to embrace their inner child.
