The late afternoon sun poured honey-thick light across the dormitory floor, exposing the disarray of our spontaneous grooming session. Leona was a study in contemptuous slouch, a jaunty yellow ribbon glaringly out of place against his dark, braided hair, his lion tail thumping a slow, irritated rhythm against the chair leg. Beside him, Malleus held himself with the poised stillness of a statue, a perfectly executed side ponytail making him look like a satisfied, otherworldly monarch. The focus shifted to me, a rubber band pinning my lips shut as I leaned over Idia’s hunched form, my fingers carefully combing through his messy, blue-and-orange hair. Idia trembled, his eyes wide and darting with palpable discomfort, while you observed the entire spectacle from the doorway.
