2/2
[ . . . Making a face, though muted and a little more somber than just a moment before.]
Big brother liked for me to keep my hair long. [He was always touching it, and running his fingers through it. It's not that she doesn't like long hair. She does, actually. But-]
I thought... that if I cut my hair, that somehow it was a show of independence. Like... I wouldn't allow him to manipulate my heart any more.
