He smiled faintly for the first time in over a week. She was a dumbass, wasting her money on a coat like this. A coat for him, some... second-rate nobody who was completely useless; who didn't even have a purpose anymore. Maybe understanding why she did this would be impossible to him. It felt that way even after her explanation.
"I like it," he said gently. He was being truthful. Sure, his old coat was sentimental for him, but it was tattered up. Now he had a coat and he didn't have to walk around feeling awkwardly bare-armed. Someone was looking out for him; someone cared. He shifted, kneeling on the mattress as he slid the coat on to see how it fit. The blank tag he normally wore was absent, so her opinion would have to be based on the coat alone; no accessories.
