"It'll be winter soon," Tohru said to Uo. "It'll be nice to see you wearing Mom's 'Red Butterfly' coat again."

"I dunno," Uo said. "I was thinking about buying a plain overcoat."

"Really?" Tohru asked. "Why?"

"That coat isn't 'me' anymore," Uo said distantly. "And I'm not proud of who I was. I was so angry."

"Don't say that," Tohru said earnestly. "I love you as you are, and who you were is part of who you are."

"If you'd said that to me a few years ago," a touched Uo said, "I'd have punched you right in the mouth."
