Sweater
There are certain kinds of things a sweater spends its life dreaming about. Primarily: achieving the coveted position of: favourite.
The story underneath the story of this episode is one that we will never tell. What we CAN tell: is that the sweater who speaks in this episode is real and it lives to this very day in KP’s trunk. It was given to her in the year 2014, 9 years ago this very week of November. She washed the sweater once and only once since then. The last time she wore it was last week.
