[Grey fetches the kitchen scissors while Manabu finangles with hair and ears and hat, and soon has the rope free and coiled around one hand. Afterwards he gives Manabu's head a long look, walking around Manabu in a half circle.]

[It's a little bit lumpy, but not so severe that it looks like Manabu's got anything other than hair under there. And the vast, vast majority of people are unlikely to pay it much mind.

Grey opts to hold out the rope to Manabu instead.]

...Why don't you try tying it down yourself?
