Euini is terrified of being himself. He wants nothing more than to hide and be anyone else. So his bangs are longer and completely hide him.

Richeh is confident in who she is. She wants nothing more than to be herself, no matter what. So her bangs are short and allow her to face the world.

She can now track him using her Lloy metal sense thingy.

She can track him like she tracked Alogar.

He came from nothing, he studied his ass off, worked any job he could take, and magic was the one thing he had to his name.

And through no real fault of his own, he doesn’t get to see it through, to reap the benefits. And it’s not fair.

Sure, a diploma is just parchment. Sure, growing into adulthood is an entirely different thing from simply graduating. But there’s also something real about holding the proof of your labors.

Demodus deserved to graduate. To finish his thesis. To be himself. And that got robbed from him.
