Your hair is so flat and thin.<</person>><</fadein>> <<fadein 3s>> She shifts her focus back to hair and starts ruffling it in an ineffective attempt to give it volume.

<<fadein 1s>><<Halie>>I think I'll braid my hair.<</Halie>><</fadein>> <<fadein 2s>>Although she agrees that her fine hair gives no justice to any hairstyle she puts on, Halie braids her hair anyway because she wants to. /* +2 to confidence */ <<set $confidence to $confidence+=2>><</fadein>> <<fadein 3s>><<person>>Looks horrible. Anyway, that top does not work well with your flat chest.<</person>><</fadein>> <<fadein 4s>>"Of course she brings it up, she always does," Halie thinks to herself.
