16. Green Jacket
If you were to ask someone that met Mamoru during his mid to late teens, they would tell you that he was a really intelligent guy that was a bit aloof with strangers but was really witty with those that were in his immediate circle of friends.
They would also tell you that he had horrible fashion sense.
And this last remark could be defined with a single word, or rather, a single item: The Green Jacket.
He carried it wherever he went, when he was not wearing his school uniform. He wore it no matter the weather or even if it didn't really went with the rest of his attire.
It even came to the point when, if you saw a flash of that particular shade of green in the crowd, chances were that it was Mamoru instead of someone else.
However, only few people wondered where said item came from. And even less actually asked him about it.
Turns out that, even thought he didn't remember it, he was told that the jacket was actually his fathers. In a way, it was the only proof, aside from an old picture of his family, that they once were real and not a figment of his imagination of a tale told to him by a pitying nurse when he woke up without memories.
If you were to ask to the same people as before about Mamoru's new sense of fashion, they would tell you that they were relieved that he doesn't wear that hideous jacket anymore.
What they didn't know is that Mamoru no longer wears it because he doesn't need the feeling of belonging it once gave him, because now, he doesn't need to pretend that he belongs somewhere.
Because now, he had a place and people he refers as home.
