[Quiet Man Cometh]

I'm saying the characters are a resource you can pool from, and I don't care if their stories are resolved or not. I'm saying you shouldn't throw out a good pair of sneakers that still work with your outfit even though you don't want them anymore.

I think this would be the crux of the disagreements right here. To some, the shoes still go with the outfit. To others, they do not. Buy new shoes.
