Old Wooden Comb item lore: “Many years ago, when both of them were still young, Old Man Gen made this comb for his wife. A lifetime of bickering. That temper of hers had worn Old Man Gen down at last. For the twentieth-odd time, he walked out of town to get some peace. Who could have known it would be their final farewell? With his wife dead, there was no one left to bicker with him... Hollowed out, Old Man Gen handed everything to the man in black who had helped him. Let that be the end of it. "Old woman, I'm coming to find you. I'm coming to pester you again!"”
