Suzume put the finishing touches on her face after that
she stood in front of the mirror and sighed, "I will never be as beautiful as the others", she said to her reflection. Thats when she heard Mama San yelling and she wondered what had had made her, she peeped slightly around the curtain and eyed the large crowd; that sort of thing never bothered her she had been dancing in crowded squares since she was six. The one thing she did hate to see was Mama San upset, Junko had always been so cruel to her, but Mama had always been kind but firm with her.
She watched as the girls came back looking dishearten and ashamed, and she could feel her heart reach out to them Hikari looked the most forlorn, "Hikari chan..", said Suzume quietly as she walked over and put her hand on her shoulder. "If you want you can have half of my dinner", she said in her soft quiet tone of voice, she then smiled, "It's okay it's only the first night now things can only get better". Thats when she saw Kaori fussing over her appearance she smiled, "Kaori chan you are always beautiful even with uneven nagajuban", she said with a bright smile.
