60. Wear and Tear
-If only hats lasted forever too. Post-02
Takeru looked at the trash bag full of clothes and sighed. He regretted agreeing to Hikari's clothes drive school thing now.
It wasn't the whole giving away his stuff part of this that was the problem. He'd outgrown a lot of clothes that were in good condition and Mimi was using this as an excuse to drag him out shopping for cool clothes (He knew his fashion sense she needed to stop fretting.).
It was just… the last bit.
The hats.
He loved hats. He'd loved hats for years. They'd saved his head from a lot of suffering. They kept his head shaded. They looked cool.
And he couldn't wear them to school. He couldn't wear much of any hats anymore. Middle school meant uniforms. It meant conformity, similarity.
It meant no hats.
So he had to give them away.
But… not yet. Not just yet.
Maybe he could just keep one?
