he's been coming out a little more regularly over the past couple years, the early ones after the accident were a struggle for him and he shut down/shut himself in for most of it. BUT, maybe she was the first haircut he got after crawling out of his cave of despondency looking like a caveman back while she was in manhattan, and was kind of one of his early interactions with the outside world again? it would've been a memorable enough experience for him to recognize her if he ran into her with lucy again, even if it was a couple years later, and it gives a little more meat to go off. like i'm even down to cowrite a narrative or backdate a scene for that haircut if you wanted to, but idk if that'd be something that interests you with it!
