OK, first off, I enjoyed this chapter a lot and look forward to more of this.
But can we talk about her sideburns? It's like she grew out just the lowest hairs in her sideburns to a super long length, and it'sssss very unusual. I keep mistaking them for face scars at some angles cuz of how they're drawn, but also in my mind they just strike me as looking like a stretch of an attempt to make her appearance distinct and memorable. Maybe they have some other significance in the author's mind tho.
