adelia was feeling jittery all over her body, hands shaking as she drew her winged eyeliner. it was brand new and the ink felt cold on her skin. she started with her left eye which failed, as expected. adelia was right-handed so might as well start with her right eye, and there it was.

a perfect winged eyeliner in weeks. feeling confident, she tried to draw exactly the same way she did for her right eye. her hands were shaking and adelia definitely knew that it wasn't due to her drawing a winged eyeliner. it was something else that made her feel this way, but she cannot piece it together. or she didn't want it to be pieced together.

her second time failed so she removed it with her makeup remover and applied her powder again. she failed again and again. letting out a big sigh, she tried for the last time. but the same thing happened again so she decided to not just use eyeliner at all, thus she removed the perfect winged eyeliner on her right eye.
