Having your hands freeze isn't worth it. Whatever the worth even might be, as I doubt gloves lower anyone's cool or cute factor. It likely increases the risk of osteoarthritis later in life if it's very regular, though. Good thing the big brother appeared to save the day. He can just stick his own hands in his pockets for the time being. But then again, it's Japan, a southern country, so I doubt hands getting cold is that regular.
