"Are you sure?" Kanaya put her cheek in her hand. Perhaps it was a condescending gesture to make, considering she was still standing unsupported. "As much as I've had the inexplicable feeling we have some common traits, Haruka, I thought needing to breathe was one of our many differences."

And apparently their common traits included hidden jewelry... maybe the other members of Haruka's social circle - her previous social circle that actually existed as opposed to stubbornly refusing to form, like a compound at the wrong temperature - maybe they didn't approve of the piece. Maybe, like Kanaya's necklace, they didn't like what it meant, and maybe, whatever it did mean to Haruka, that was still so important that she had to have it on her person at all times but hidden from view. Magic still wasn't a possible explanation for that thing? Kanaya wouldn't call her sylladex and its ability to correlate an invisible personal possession to a key magic, but to someone from another world it might be. There had to be more to Haruka's world than "normal", when she knew "normal" didn't exist.

It wasn't like she'd gotten it from a seadweller or anything though, as the typical origins of gold jewelry would have been on Alternia. That would just be this preposterous cosmic insult.
