Never run with scissors.
While helping out at their parent's hair salon as an apprentice, Quỳnh's life ends by the blades during one hell of a rush hour. Being one of the top ten dumbest ways to die caught someone, or rather something's, eye.
Now in purgatory with no escape, they're trapped in Jason Fucking Vorhees' body. His incorporeal self is only visible to Quỳnh, haunting them like a ghost and glaring daggers as if they didn't already have enough on their plate.
Their intended role as a merciless killer goes completely out the window when they choose to become the world's silliest barber just because of that one Forsaken skin of Jason's. For the funny.
They're STILL running with scissors.
