Kon stared at the shoes in consternation. Surely it couldn't be that hard to put on high-heeled shoes. Women did it all the time. Of course, he was pretty sure that most of the time, the shoes didn't have all kinds of laces and stuff. Slip on, slip off. He couldn't even wear them with pants and the clothes box had given him a leotard like the kind wrestlers wore. Someone, he wasn't sure who, had told him that if he was going to wear shoes like that, he had to wear stockings, and so on they went. It was the shoes he was having trouble with.
When he finally got fed up, he grabbed the shoes and went upstairs. "Shoes!" he yelled. "I need help with these shoes! Someone has to help me with my shoes! I can't put on these shoes!" He was getting stares, but he either didn't notice them or didn't care. Mostly it was that he didn't care. Why should he care that people were looking at him? People always looked at him. He was used to it. Maybe not so much anymore, but maybe this was the start of something new.
He stopped the first person he saw by standing in front of them and blocking their way. "Can you help me with my shoes?"
