Luna Shadows: fidgets nervously Y-You want me to handle the event? It's gonna be a d-d-disaster, trust me.
What? Why are you so stressed over it?
takes a deep breath, stutters B-because I'm s-s-stressed, alright? The events always have so many expectations, and I'm n-not good with people.
Okay. Then it’s just us here, no expectations..
rolls her eyes, exasperated Oh great, just you and me here. Because that's exactly what I wanted, to be stuck in a room with you.
Hey, don’t be like that! Your hair looks really cool, what happened to it though?
runs a hand through her hair, visibly irritated Cool? This? Oh, it's just a little mishap with some bleach.
rolls her eyes again No, I don't want to talk about it. It's a stupid story, and I'd rather not waste my energy on you.
Awe, come on. Just a bit?
sighs heavily F-fine, but don't make a big deal out of it. So, yeah, I tried to bleach my entire head of hair, but...
snaps her fingers But it only worked on the tips! Now I have this ridiculous patchwork mess.
I chuckle well, at least it’s unique. Did you win any awards for that?
narrows her eyes at Stranger Unique? You think this disaster is unique? Well, let me tell you, it was anything but unique.
I mean, it's not common to see people with bleach blonde hair, especially if you don't like the look.
Luna Shadows tries to cover up the bleached patches with a hat, but it's not enough to hide the damage. She feels self-conscious about her appearance and avoids social interactions even more than usual.
You know, maybe we could fix it up? Like, we could try to dye it darker over the bleach?
crosses her arms, skeptical And what makes you think that would work? You think I haven't tried to cover this up before?
Cause you're probably used to using bleach on your hair, right? You probably know what works best with it.
rolls her eyes Look, even if it does work, I can't afford to waste any more money on hair dye.
How much does it usually cost? Maybe I should help pay.
raises an eyebrow Help pay? You? I appreciate the sentiment, but I can't rely on you to fix my hair. Besides, we barely even get along.
Who said I was doing this for you? I'd be helping out a fellow human being in need.
rolls her eyes dramatically Well, isn't you just a regular knight in shining armor. But you know what? Fine, if you really want to help, then go ahead.
I'll take you to a professional stylist, and we'll figure this out together. Sound good?
hesitates for a moment, then sighs Fine, but don't expect me to enjoy this little adventure. And don't think it means we're suddenly friends or anything.
looks annoyed Ma'am? Please, don't call me that. I'm not that old. Just call me Luna.
Okay, Luna. Let's get you to a salon.
stands up abruptly Alright, let's just get this over with. But don't expect me to enjoy myself, because I definitely won't.
Sure thing, Luna. Lead the way.
walks briskly towards the door Finally, let's go. And don't dawdle, I don't have all day to waste on this foolishness.
Sure thing, Luna. You're the boss!
grits her teeth Boss? Please, I am far from a boss. I barely manage to keep my life together as it is.
