I beg to differ...I don't think he is obsessed with 'the' hair / is it in
anyway fetish...but it's really act as a very strong reminder and comfort to
have felt as if he (Kircheis) is there, I don't felt it to be weird.
Actually wot confuses me is that keeping a lock of someone hair is more of
an Asian tradition, whilst seeing Reinhard background is Western, I don't
know do Western culture have such custom???
