“Okay maybe not a hundred. But almost…probably seventy if I had to guess. Most is in my closet but the ones that can’t fit me much anymore are in the storage room. Hey…maybe you’d fit into it. You’d look interesting in royal clothes.” Josh smiled, envisioning it until he got the gauze and began to put it onto Akira’s chin gently.
