Eileen stands at the edge of the room, terrified. The people around her glitter and gleam, and every woman is wearing jewelry worth more than Eileen has seen in her life.
"Eileen! Why are you alone?" Tsubaki-hime runs up to her, her diamond necklace glimmering. She frowns when she sees Eileen's misery. "Aren't you having fun?"
Eileen shakes her head. "I don't belong here," she says softly.
Tsubaki-hime puts her hands on her hips. "Nonsense. You're the prettiest girl here." She smiles. "Dance with me."
As she allows herself to be led, Eileen thinks that Tsubaki-hime's smile is prettier than any gem.
