The Glass Coffin

love love love! i was waiting for the tailor to turn out to be a creep but he was just a really good guy!

i love the moral (to me, at least) being that kindness and altruism for the sake of doing what’s right and not for glory or recognition will bring you good things in the end—the tailor “[making] for pleasure what he had once needed to make for harsh necessity.”
