Okay, hear me out:
Fyodor's hat is important to him. It has some significance.
Exhibit A:
Exhibit B:
Exhibit A is negligible. Maybe it was a quick gag.
But Exhibit B downright mentions the hat. Has dialogue about the hat. In a manga. Where every line is precious, and every drawing even more so. And there are that many lines and drawings of the hat alone... I refuse to believe this means nothing.
Now that we're in agreement, I ask you, why is this hat important to him?
