Hee. I bet it was! Shingo's always had his hair kept short, but I prefer mine to be longer. It is a bit more work, but it's worth it to me at least!

[She could definitely see it being easier to wash shorter hair, and maintain it in general, really. So she can't say Hikari's okaasan was wrong in that. Still, she's trying to focus on finding a way out, so Hikari probably does get a decent look at her hair as she keeps glancing around, her hair shifting with the movement.]
