Vasar's Furs (Coat and Gloves)

Vasar's furs are the necessary survival gear Ian bargains for, trading his wrist device as collateral. The thick pelts are a symbol of Vasar's self-sufficiency and opportunistic lifestyle—he clings to them as his 'livelihood,' only relinquishing them under pressure. Ian wraps himself in the furs before stepping into the storm, their bulk a temporary shield against the cold, but also a reminder of Vasar's exploitation. The furs' transfer marks the moment Ian's trust in Vasar curdles into suspicion, though he is unaware of the full extent of the trapper's betrayal.
