Seiko was sat in the Butterfly room, watching the hug dolls, they had all been returned, but they still had traces of glitter where they had been taken out into the unusually fabulous world. Her own hug doll had it worst off, she had found it on her bed, up to it's neck in glitter, its hair still seemed to be more glitter than hair, and she sighed as she watched the hands arrange the dolls around a table for a tea party.

She felt almost nervous about seeing Kiriko, the other girl seemed so together, so strong, so <i>cool</i>, it was possibly embarrassing to find someone a couple years younger than you this admirable. But Kiriko seemed to have understood her 'issues' in Paradise, almost as well as Kozue had, so she had to have experienced something similar? But she hadn't ended up like Seiko had, she had been stronger than that, and Seiko felt almost envious. Another emotion she hadn't accepted in a long time, everything felt so different, when she was able to experience the emotions she had tried so hard to repress.

She looked at the door, she had arrived early, actually brushed her hair and put on clean clothes, it wasn't that she wanted to impress Kiriko , she just realised she couldn't live in her pajamas,  which was actually a little disappointing.
