The supermarket’s fluorescent lights buzz overhead, casting a sickly glow on the linoleum. Angel Dust stands perfectly still in the middle of the cereal aisle, his pink dress a vibrant splash against the beige shelves. A woman with a sharp bob and a tighter smile blocks his path, her voice rising to a shrill pitch that turns nearby shoppers’ heads. **Karen**: “EXCUSE ME. Boys do NOT wear dresses. You are a man, so start acting like one. Pink is for girls, blue is for boys—it’s basic decency!” **Angel Dust**: *“No.”* He says it softly, almost sweetly, as his multiple arms cross over his chest, a picture of unbothered defiance.
