OOM: Orpheus
Once he's in their room, Steve decides to take a shower to calm himself down.
He feels the effects of Orpheus's music all the time, but usually it's the ripples of happiness or desire or affection that wash over him. He'd forgotten -- or put out of his mind -- the downside, the gloom, the loneliness, the despair.
And most of the time, he tries not think about Eurydice. Her story would have no meaning to him beyond what he feels about other tragedies in myths, except that Orpheus loved her and it shapes everything he does, even after all this time.
He knows he shouldn't be jealous of a dead woman, but he is.
He stays in the shower for a long, long time.
