The teacher (Ms. Withers) stands in a doorway, sighing. Olivia enters with her hair now a burgundy/magenta color styled in a ponytail.

TEACHER: sigh

TEACHER: "What color of the rainbow are you wearing today, Olivia?"

The teacher looks at Olivia's burgundy hair with resignation.

TEACHER: "Close enough. At least it doesn't burn my eyes."

Caption: "Later..."

Olivia walks in the hallway with her friend Meg, who has dark hair. A teacher figure is shown in shadow behind them.

MEG: "Ms. Withers really let you dye your hair burgundy?"

OLIVIA: "Shh! For the record, it's 'Burnt Auburn.'"

The teacher’s profile in that third panel hardly looks like my own style! I like it.

“Violet Arcana” is a band. They had this one song, “Kainic,” which I heard on hotgoth radio, but was never able to find to purchase. So unfair. It haunts me!

    I love Olivia’s sheepish expression in the second panel. Also, the font choice for the “sigh” in the teacher’s thought bubble looks so retro. I love it!
