A harsh flash-photography full-body photograph of a pretty adult human man with soft olive skin, huge dark eyes, long lashes, a small upturned nose, full lips, and shaggy dark hair dyed unevenly lavender at the ends. His face is youthful but unmistakably adult, with a soft jaw, slightly crooked smile, and one eyebrow naturally higher than the other.
He is standing barefoot in the cramped bedroom of an SJL apartment, caught halfway through climbing over a pile of laundry to reach the window. Thrift-store clothes spill from an open closet, tangled jewelry hangs from a lamp, discarded takeout containers sit beside stuffed animals, cheap perfume bottles cover the dresser, and a sticker-covered standing fan points toward the bed. He wears a tiny cropped cardigan over a black lace camisole, an absurdly short plaid skirt over ripped tights, chunky black platform shoes, and mismatched silver earrings. His glossy black nail polish is chipped almost completely away.
The expression isn’t posed. It feels like somebody has walked in at the exact wrong moment and caught him trying to hide something behind his back. Harsh camera flash freezes his entire awkward posture and throws the cluttered bedroom into chaotic shadows.
