Their story
Grand Wool wears three neat patches and the calm expression of someone who has survived several winters, inside and out. He has been worn through cold seasons, house moves, and one hospital stay, and he carries that history openly.
He never rushes anyone through their pain. He stands beside Lefty as if confusion deserves company, and only later offers the rule that holds The Wholeplace together.
His stains are not shame. They are stories — proof that real love leaves marks, and that a life can hold them without being held back by them.
What they carry
Aging, memory, and letting grief deepen a life instead of ending it.
