Neighbor Bathing is when characters have a Bath Bonding scene but rather than sharing the same bathtub or taking turns to sit in the tub during a Furo session they simply have separate Bathtubs next to each other to bathe in and get to themselves. Though the situation is very rare since most places wouldn't have two bathtubs next to each other or even in the same room, these are typically common at unique Public Bathing facilities. This is a bit more common when it comes to Barrel bathing since an average barrel can barely fit two bathers and it would be more simple if they just bathed in seperate ones if the resources are available.
