Marie Antoinette Syndrome

Technoblade had always loved Dream's golden hair.

Something about it always caught his eye. Perhaps it was his piglin instincts, but the way it shown in the sun, like wheat in late summer, never failed to make his breath catch.

Which was why it was a shame that, as Dream curled against Techno's chest, his hair was so dull.

Marie Antoinette Syndrome, the rapid whitening of a person's hair due to stress.

Technoblade had heard of it, of course. Come across it during his extensive readings. He'd just never thought he'd see a case of it in real life.

Techno didn't even want to imagine the type of stress Dream had been under, trapped in this torture chamber of a prison.

But with the scars mapping his body, Technoblade didn't even have the luxury of guessing.
