The two ran Ever since running away in the night , Junebug and Johnny have since been adjusting and detailing themselves to appear more human and more like themselves. Junebug now alters her appearance often, such as by dying her hair blue (and later orange, in [[Act IV]]), to reject reflect their previous uniformity identities and to appear unique and "specific."
