are y'all in the discord colorblind? It's definitely a faaair bit lighter. Like yeah, it's in a range that an artist could make it like that from lighting alone, but frankly to a degree that it'd be artist error at that point (I say as someone who's had trouble with dark brown hair consistency myself), but it's also enough that it totally passes as dyed and makes more sense as such.
Anyways, huh, weird how different he seems. I wonder, is it because they've gone off course from the 'plot' enough that suddenly the characters aren't shackled by the design of the plot or something? That seems like the kinda thing the story might pull, with how things were going in the box in a previous chapter, too.
If he genuinely changes for the better it could be neat if they make a tentative friendship, but that annulment should still go through we don't need this mans.
