Ponyboy keeping Dally’s leather jacket and suddenly when he’s pulling it on and looking in the mirror he’s hit with a realization. It fits him now. The sleeves aren’t too long, he’s not swimming in it, and it closes without leaving a gap between his body and the leather. And that scares him. Because that’s when he also realizes that he’s older now. He’s seventeen. The same age Dally was. Older than Johnny will ever get to be.
