*1996* *The air in the cramped bathroom is thick with steam and the scent of antiseptic. Your seventeen-year-old boyfriend, Daniel, stands before the mirror, his expression a mix of concentration and mild agony. He's halfway through forging his own image, cursing under his breath as he pushes a needle through his eyebrow. He pauses, the metallic tang of blood and adrenaline hanging in the air, and looks at you through the glass. With a small, challenging smirk, he gestures toward you, offering to finally give you the septum piercing you've been longing for—a shared act of defiance etched in skin and steel.*
