The way she touched it, the way she inspected it before actually giving him an answer, brought back to the forefront of his mind her condition when they first met. A small girl looking even smaller, a porcelain doll lying in a hospital bed, almost as white as the sheets around her. Abandoned by a mother who loved herself more than her, and a stepfather who barely even cared.

A scene that reminded his younger self so forcefully of his parents' own betrayal, even if he couldn't even remember either them or the moment they gave him away to be a lab rat.

But most, he saw a girl who was going to leave the world with nothing in her life. He still saw that now, even over the years that he'd been with her. First impressions always lasted after all, and he doubted he would ever forget. So he was determined to give her something in life-- anything he could give. He had been such a stupid, selfish boy ten years ago, couldn't be there for her in the flesh, but at least now he could do something.

"That settles it then." Already he had his palm reader in one hand, ready to start transferring bytes to whoever was acting as cashier for the day. Maybe that blond man was somewhere...

"Go get changed, and I'll take care of the rest here, hmm?"

The other hand was already working to free the skirt from its stand so Chrome could take it with her.
