Commenters mentioned this a while ago, so it’s nice to see it actually sort of mentioned in the story again…though once again, the reason wasn’t explained, so it still feels a bit odd. So wearing a knee-length skirt and tube top is considered scandalous in the magic-future? (I guess everyone has just gotten used to Erika.
