5 Weeks in a Purple Cast

Is it guts or grief on this boy's face as he exits the ortho office, having had his splint removed and a cast (color of his choosing) put on? Bittersweet, his arm still hurt when free causing him to understand a little better why another something had to be put on his arm. Good news is he says it feels better in this cast and he gets to soak it every day that actually helps it not itch. Off just in time for Halloween if all goes well.
