- Chloe stands with crazed bloodshot eyes, breathing hard, covered in red stains, the acid gun empty in her hand. The hat stand is half melted.
- Chloe (wild-eyed): "More." Zia (holds up a box): "All out."
- Chloe (darkly): "MORE." Zia: "Chlo, I'm with you, but that was like five hundred hats. I really shouldn't risk going back to their world again."
- Chloe (voice hollow, putting the acid gun on the table): "Fine."
- Chloe takes out sunglasses and a cigarette from somewhere.
- Zia: "Hey, since when do you smoke?" Chloe (wearing the sunglasses and lighting up as she leans against the wall coolly, James Dean-style): "Just give me this."
Characters: Chloe, Zia
...hell hath no wrath like that of a woman even adjacent to Trump's America.
And with this, we end the #ScreamingHats mini-arc. We'll get back to our regular storyline shortly: Chapter 9 is coming soon. But Chloe and Zia couldn't just let this one go, so we got three pages of #ScreamingHats, not just one.
