Felix starts folding the sparkly jacket back into his shopping bag, still watching Mikey for a verdict. Gi turns toward a rack of donated clothes near the counter.
Gi pulls out a distinctive deep-purple vest threaded with gold and teal, its unusual colors echoing the jacket without matching it exactly. A handwritten note protrudes from one pocket.
Gi William
Well, this is interesting. Someone donated it with a note asking the next wearer to make it their own.
Gi unfolds the note carefully. Its handwriting invites the wearer to alter, decorate, or reinterpret the vest instead of treating it as finished. Felix leans closer, intrigued.

He can give an opinion, as long as we finish the choice here and then go home as agreed.
Felix holds the vest against the sparkly jacket, turning toward the warm shop lights. Purple, gold, teal, and glitter now wait for Mikey’s judgment before the outfit is chosen.
