Y'know, I've kind of thought about that but never really said anything concrete one way or the other (or even decided for sure). BUT NOW YOU'RE MAKING ME THINK ABOUT IT! :D So... probably about half and half now, and down all the time before the Flowers game. He's got a torn shirt now thanks to the mongling in that game, thus he could easily have taken another strip off it to use to tie his hair back when it gets in his way, but for now is probably defaulting to loose.

And he totally understands super-useless, everything Ed fills his free time with is devoted to finding ways to be useful.

Looking back at it, what (if anything) does Albert wish he'd done differently in that game?
