#they were his only glimpses of life outside of the coffin that was evermore

[drewminyart]

okay okay so i was remembering that bit in tsc where Jean goes to sit in the living room because `it was cluttered and chaotic, but it felt lived-in. He could sense the others' presence even if they weren’t around to bother him, and that was enough to take the edge off the loneliness eating at his heart.’ and i thought about the quilts Cat‘s grandma made to go in that room and i thought !!! what if she (or Cat) made one for Jean

making one of those is such a labour of love and such a gesture of devotion— a gesture that Jean has never been offered before (maybe with the exception of Kevin's magnets and postcards). he's never allowed that sense of family and security until he moves in with Cat Laila and Jeremy. it just makes sense that he would covet these tangible reminders of the fact that he is no longer alone and he is loved and valued beyond his performance on the court
