Synopsis

My mother used to braid my hair so tightly that it left a visible ridge on my scalp. However, she eventually cut away those intricate plaits. As I began to walk on my own, my steps became unsteady. Touching the mark on my head, I grasped the unbreakable bond between us, initiating a journey of female maturation that neither of us was ready to confront.
