Scrutinize Dress
Somehow the Dress is Pink, Gray, and Pale Green all at once without being a churning chaos. It’s a lot of Cotton, shaped here and flowing there, with lazy Frills meandering this way and that. It is striking yet casual. It is comforting to the touch. It is the sort of thing you could imagine wearing every day.
And of course, that is the idea. Your Sisters knew that starting today, as established by the traditions of those who Vacate to pursue a Vocation, you are to exclusively use an item created for you by those sending you off. Once you are established in the City, you will of course be allowed to create Dresses for your own use. But until then, this is it. You were not expecting to receive it, and thus you were hoping that you could get around that rule somehow. But you hadn’t quite figured out how. Pretend that what you had on was created for you by your family? Lie and say that you didn’t have a family? That would have been cruel to those who had raised you, even if they never found out. Now that you think about it, expecting them not to support you in your decision to go was fairly cruel, too.
