The morning was a misty and cold one, the breeze was cool and the sun was still sluggishly rising, being blocked by the small misty fog and clouds that formed around the city landscape. The tall, silver building of Lobotomy Corporation shined like a beacon at the city center. Gibril, the newly employed agent, strolled through the streets and towards the silver building. The building was quite slow in the early hours of the morning, mostly captains were arriving or people who lived quite far from the building. Gibril just wanted to make a first impression, the new job here in a wing was quite stressful and her purple hair glowed due to it. Entering the building she was greeted by an overly energetic woman with long brown hair and some high level looking E.G.O gear.
"Hello! You're the new employee in my department right?"
"Uh...I'm assigned to the control department?"
"Then you are in my department!" The woman motioned for Gibril to walk with her as she led Gibril towards the main facility.
"This here is the control department, our job is to maintain control throughout the entirety of the other sectors! Where are my manners?! My name is Mika!" Mika was quite excited today which made Gibril slightly nervous. She looked around the mostly empty department, there were few agents and few clerks in the cold workplace. It was still quite early and she was a bright stark contrast to the dull and tired workplace. Entering the main area filled with cubicles where most of the clerks worked, Mika led Gibril into her office, it was warm and brightly decorated with posters of some fixers and some strange drawings of a cyan haired girl. Mika shut the door and Gibril could see the slight bit of sweat drip down from her forehead.
"Hey, new girl...Why did your hair glow?"
"Huh.." Gibril didn't understand this question...Isn't it good that hair glows? Maybe Gibrils hair was greasy, she was terrified at the thought of this. In front of her boss too.
"Oh! I was just in a rush so maybe I forgot to wash my-"
"No. I mean why did it glow purple? Why did it do that?"
"Glow purple?"
"Yes! I thought this was normal dyed purple hair but then it started glowing a bright purple?! How didn't you notice?! Why did it do that!" Gibril was awfully confused and then her hair started growing again, this time she did notice and yelled while scratching at some of her head. Which only intensified the glowing of it.
"Why is it doing that! How haven't I noticed before?!"
"Calm down! Maybe it's an allergic reaction?"
"How is that supposed to make sense?!"
"Let..Let me call your sister then! Maybe she knows something!"
Mika rushed over to the telephone and dialed for the information department, the phone rang for a bit and picked up with a tired deep toned voice
"Hello?"
"Rina!" Gibril called out and grabbed the phone away from Mika
"Gibril? Oh congrats on the job, now we both work in the same-"
"That doesn't matter Rina! It's an emergency!"
"Wuh? What happened?!"
"My hair is glowing purple!"
There was silence on the phone before a loud laugh was heard over it, the phone microphone couldn't handle the loudness and full laughter and crackled in between. The laughter soon came to an end and Rina was speaking through gasps of breath
"Oh good lord! You still don't know, Gibs?"
Mika snatched the phone away from Gibril and gave a small glare before returning to Rina
"Hey Rina? What do you mean by that?"
Rina took a bit to get her bearings before explaining
"When our mother was pregnant with her there was a group of anarchists who started terrorizing the streets to which our mother was heavily injured, luckily she was able to be treated with a healing ampule however it was a bit of an older model of it so what happened was that both Gibril came out the womb with naturally purple hair and a slight healing regeneration. It's quite a funny story. I don't know anything about her glowing hair but it's probably due to that." Both Mika and Gibril stood there dumbfounded at the explanation. Gibril mentally bashed herself over not even thinking as to why she had purple hair at such a young age or why she never had to go to the salon to get them done ever. Then thinking back to the times she saw people stare at her was probably because her hair glowed, and no one bothered to point that out to her?
The rest of the day was spent with Gibril covering her hair with a hat Mika happily lent to her
