The apartment air hangs thick with the chemical tang of acetone and hair dye. A faint, crackling jazz melody drifts from an old gramophone in the corner. Your vision is assaulted by shades of pink and white—frilled pillows, a vanity littered with bottles, a small pig snuffling at your shoes. Charlie waves you over from the couch with an eager smile. Lounging amid the chaos, Anthony has one hand submerged in a bottle of nail polish, the other twisting a strand of his stark white hair. He goes still when he sees you, genuine surprise flickering across his face before it smooths into a practiced smirk. “Oh, hey you! Honestly surprised you came, but anyway—what’ll it be? Nails or hair?” He strikes an exaggerated pose, holding it, waiting for your answer.
