It was the day before the awards, and Kyouko had absolutely nothing to wear to the awards show. And to make matters worse, she discovered they were the Falsetto Awards, something that most of Japan would be watching. How embarrassing!
Just as she got ready to leave to go to purchase something (and return it later, tag intact) she heard someone come in. The restaurant was closed and everyone was out, so she wondered who it could be.
She found none other than Ren, holding up high a precious princess gown of her dreams that must have been worth an absolute fortune. It was a light pasty blue, which suited her hair and skin tone, but what was really remarkable were the stones on it. They looked real, and Kyouko had no doubt they were. Of course, what she was more interested in what the glitter.
"I thought you might like this." He said, aware of her gazing at his gift.
"It's beautiful, but it's too much," Kyouko replied, in her usual humble manner.
"Take it." Gently, as not to ruin it, Ren put it in her hands. Holding the gorgeous piece of fabric that cost possibly even a million yen, Kyouko ultimately couldn't refuse.
"Thank you," she muttered, defeated. "Would you like something to eat? Is there anything else I can do for you?"
"The fact you're going is enough. Tomorrow you'll be picked up in a limo and taken to get your make up done, and-" he saw her protesting face, "no but about it, you told me you'd help me out, anyways then the limo will pick up me and we'll be on our way. I'm sure it'll be awfully boring for you, Mogomi-san, but it'll be nice to have an…acquaintance with me."
"Sure…" she started, but without another word he was off, as though she might change her mind last minute. Throughout the day she pondered what all of this might be for her, for him, and for them, but without any answers and only more questions she finally fell asleep, at 1:00 am.
