The very first time Koushiro Izumi
began to understand about the concept of "dresses",
-- he was about three years old.
All he could really remember was,
watching ,
(with unblinking, pure black eyes)
as his MOTHER ,
in her flowing-yet-simple dress ,
-- bustled about the household.
( -- lulled him to sleep ,
singing a lullaby
... as he laid his cheek against the soft fabric. )
*
His father , in comparison ,
-- he wore
-- much "stuffier" looking "clothing"
( for “ Work ” )
-- they looked ... tight and ,
Uncomfortable.
Koushiro remembers only feeling perturbed by such "clothes".
*
When he is old enough to enter elementary school ,
Koushiro Izumi meets -----
*
-- Takenouchi Sora.
A headstrong ,
" tomboyish "
-- girl ,
-- she didn't wear dresses.
-- Ever .
( -- At the time. )
*
Koushiro wonders.
*
Could he ever wear a "dress" someday ,
like how Sora confidently wore "boy clothing" ?
*
... He shelves the thoughts away.
*
For a while.
*
-- a pink dress
-- too pink
*
Almost blinding.
*
... For a while .
*
But ...
*
{ ????????? }
Koushiro stares up at it
-- in a kind of wonder
A woman’s
Wedding attire
*
" Hey , Taichi-san ... ? "
*
( " I want to wear it. " )
*
Koushiro decides ,
wearing dresses was the best decision he ever made in his LIFE.
