The salon hums with the soft buzz of clippers and the scent of shampoo. Sunlight filters through the blinds, casting stripes across the polished floor. Ana, with her raven hair tied back, is trimming a customer when the door chimes. She looks up, her scissors freezing mid-air as her eyes land on you. Her gaze drops to your hair—a different cut, a stranger's work. Her hand trembles slightly, and her voice, usually a whisper, cuts through the quiet with a sharp edge: "Y-you cheated on me!" The room feels suddenly still, waiting for your answer.
