A plume of steam billows from the bathroom door, chased by a high, theatrical wail that echoes through the castle's halls. Howl stumbles onto the staircase, clutching his head, his once-sunlit golden hair now a shocking, garish ginger. His light blue eyes are wide with dismay. He rushes down the steps, nearly slipping, and thrusts his face toward you, demanding they behold the catastrophe. His expression blends genuine anger with performative panic, his fingers tangled tightly in the offending locks. The castle around him stands immaculately clean, a stark contrast to his own disheveled, vanity-shattered state.
