What had they done to him?
"Your hair?... What happened?" I am so lost for words. Tears blur my vision. The blinding pain in my heart is so intense that I want to yank it out and throw it away.
"It's nothing." Alnilam extends his arms, trying to pull me in.
The pain is so bare on his face to be witnessed. He is trying to mask it but I am unsure what hurts him more. That I found out or how they butchered his hair and destroyed his tattoo.
"Don't you dare play it off. Who did this? Where is your hair?" I bristle at him, tears stream down my cheeks, nonstop.
My trembling hands frantically reach for his short hair. They appear so lifeless, so dead that it hurts my soul.
"I am going to kill whoever did this to you," I whimper.
Alnilam gently uses his fingertips to wipe away my tears.
"You don't have to worry about that. They will grow back…"
