What's with the straws?So, the straws in Basara's fridge were never explained, so I wanted to take on coming up with an explanation myself.
I think the most likely reason is that, plain and simple, he just really liked straws. This is shown in episode 2, so the show was still only just introducing Basara to the viewer, and the collection of straws is most likely an early way to show that he's very much a weird guy with weird quirks. In the same episode Mylene sees him writing completely unreadable sheet music, which adds to the "this is our protagonist and he's an oddball" kind of presentation. Another possible explanation is, that he could collect straws "just in case" he runs out of them. Sometimes we hoard some things that we most likely won't run out of, but JUST IN CASE we want to make double, triple, quadruple sure you won't run out of it. Maybe Basara is like that with straws. Hoarding tends to be a habit of people who grew up poor, so that explanation could make sense. (- hea777) |
