Y’all are clearly forgetting the most important fact: In his despair years his hair did grow pretty long; long enough to be shoulder length, and the WoH played with it a lot. Now they stay with the remnants post-despair on Jabberwok island and not only Nagito the only one they trust more than others, they also are addicted to playing with his hair. If Kotoko and Jataro are especially distressed, they run to Nagito and he lets them play with his hair, as a stim or a comfort thingie.
Okay, anon, you win. But I’ve got to be honest here: I kinda feel like you cheated. Dad!Ko is the sweetest and purest in all of infinity, and will always win, so bringing him up is kind of an op move. That said, talk of Nagito Komaeda And His Five Children is always welcome in this house, and the thought of Nagito keeping his hair long so his son and daughter can play with it when they feel anxious gives me both the Warms and the Fuzzies. Well played.
