Summary
Max glances at her, an odd sort of look on her face, halfway between amusement and confusion. "I- I don't know," she says, bewildered, "It was a joke, mostly. I just meant- it's kind of a romantic scene, don't you think?"
El's frown deepens. "I guess," she says, because she supposes she could see it- there had been a split second, right before Max spoken up, where she'd expected something else to happen, although she hadn't exactly been sure what. "They are friends, though."
"That's what they all say," Max hums.
Every time El thinks she has this society thing figured out, someone throws her for a loop.

Summary
“I like the hair,” Max murmurs. And, oh. El had forgotten. She’s tried to avoid her reflection since she left NINA. She doesn’t like how young she looks in the mirror, short hair and dark eyes and her chin that trembles even when she tries to be strong.
“Lucas said it was this short when they first met you,” Max says, “but I never got to see it.” Her fingers trail down from the top of El’s head and trace across her cheek. She brushes away a tear El hadn’t realized she’d cried. “I like it,” Max repeats.
----------
“Do you have an electric razor?”
Eddie blinks. Then slowly nods. “Uh. Yeah, I think so? Haven’t used it in a while, obviously.” He tugs at a piece of his hair pointedly. “But I think Uncle Wayne’s got one rattling around in the bathroom. Why?”
Max purses her lips. Readjusts her grip on her crutch. “I want to shave my head. Like El.” And then, quickly, “If you don’t want to help me I’ll use my mom’s kitchen scissors.”
