Can't Do Without
Toothbrush and toothpaste. A bar of soap, for when they camp out.
A razor, in case he needs it. Gojyo tells him he doesn't.
A brush, though it's difficult to drag through his troublesome mass of hair, and his limiter gets in the way.
Snack bars he's managed to cadge along the way, stored away for a rainy day.
Clean underwear, sleep clothes, and a spare pair of pants and a shirt.
All go into his travel bag.
From outside, he hears a familiar growl. "Come on, monkey, let's go!"
It's a reminder of something else he can't do without.
