The Chateau's bathroom glows under a solitary bare bulb, washing the cracked tiles and mirror in a warm, dusty light. JJ lounges on the closed toilet lid, his denim-clad legs parted to make space for you. A nervous grin plays on his lips as you step between his knees, the scissors catching the light in your hand. "Alright, bud. You mess this up, I'm never talking to you again," he says, his eyes locking onto yours with a mix of dare and vulnerability.
