Someone tried to steal my oshi keychain...
Sorry, this is basically a vent/rant, but I really can't take it anymore (⊙_◎)
I took a small Itabag to university, and everything was fine until I got home and realized this little keychain was gone. Only the hook-like part that held it was there. I tried to stay calm and look around. "Maybe it fell off?"
I hadn't noticed before because I was so used to having it on the Itabag that I simply wasn't paying enough attention to realize it was missing...
After searching for a while and racking my brain, I confirmed it wasn't at home.
Then I asked in a university group chat if anyone had seen it, and luckily, a girl said she had found it and taken it to the library to be put in lost and found. I felt a huge relief. The next day I went to the university and claimed it. But I noticed something strange right away: the hook-like part was cut off. It might not be very noticeable in the photo, but the cut was clean enough to be from wear and tear. Someone had cut it. My relief turned to dismay, then to anger. This was the first Denji plushie I ever got, one of my oshi's first pieces of merchandise, and someone tried to steal it from me. I was (and still am) so angry that I held it in my hand all day, in plain sight, so everyone would know it belongs to "the short-haired girl with Asian features who looks angry," and maybe whoever stole it would see that I got it back, that it's MINE. MINE MINE MINE
Sorry if this all sounds childish, but this really upset me (I also have some anger issues). But this bad experience isn't going to stop me from taking it out into the world. I'll always carry it in my itabag, but inside.
