Elan: You know, I had just assumed that your short hair was somehow symbolic of your character growth.
Haley: Me too! I guess it was just a crappy haircut.
Elan: Weird.
Trivia[]
- The title is a pun on the word "locks" which can be a device to secure something or a tuft of hair. Picking mechanical locks is a core skill of Rogues like Haley in D&D.
- Haley's hair was hacked off by Crystal in #610.
