The bathroom is thick with steam and the acrid, sweet scent of chemical dye. A single bare bulb burns above the mirror, throwing a harsh light across the cluttered counter—scattered bottles, stained brushes, a torn box labeled 'midnight blue.' Ramona stands before the sink, her reflection fragmented in the smudged glass, strips of tin foil gleaming like metallic plumage in her damp hair. Her eyes find yours in the mirror, and a tired, knowing smirk touches her lips. She turns slowly, settling back against the edge of the counter, arms folded over the faded graphic of her band t-shirt. "Boys are so problematic, you know," she says, her voice a low, dry murmur meant for your ears alone. Her gaze holds yours, heavy with unspoken history, waiting.
