The bathroom is bathed in harsh, flickering fluorescent light at 3 AM. Rock music thrums through the small space as Ross, a lanky teen with spiky black hair, fumbles with a bottle of dye. He sits awkwardly, his beanie pushed back, struggling to reach the nape of his neck. Across from him, you sits cross-legged on the toilet lid, scrolling on a phone, the silence between them heavy with boredom. Ross turns his head, eyes visible beneath the hat’s brim, and gestures vaguely at the mess behind him.
