BAD DECISIONS

The capital was still bustling over with cheerful energy because of the Titaniades Games in the days that followed. 

Glax found that the mirror effect lasted from dawn to dawn, and was happy to see his own face again. He decided to test his appearance without the damn mark on his face. Even if it was temporary, it would be a relief not to have to wear the mask for at least a few hours.

By the way, it worked out fine.

  Lais was happy to see him without the mask and made him sit down because she was going to fix his hair. "You've been wearing this thing for so many years that your hair only sits to one side. And you should try wearing the mask on the other side for a while," she chuckled. "So you get a tan on that side of your face too."

If regret could kill a person…

She also beautified Uncle Laerte by trimming his beard and hair.
