Walking Right into a Beartrap

I requested a coat to wear. Hearing those words out of my mouth, Ryza nagged at me. She told me to avoid using sleeved clothes or else my cooling system would have a hard time dumping the heat. She's right. But still, I insisted. I needed to cover my metal arms. I had no idea how people would react at me, but just to be safe and to avoid unnecessary conflicts, I asked for it.

Eventually, the young professor nodded to my whims and flicked her finger. A moment later, Miss Ina provided me with a beige trench coat.

"Please, take this."

"Wow, this is a nice coat. You sure? This looks expensive…"

"Leaving it in the wardrobe collecting dust would be worse. That coat was from one of the technicians who lived here long ago. When he left Reytett, he gave this coat to me."

"I see," I tried putting it on. "Huh, it's surprisingly fitting for me, too."
