New customer Akashi Mami asks Richard to appraise her ruby brooch to see if it has been heat-treated. Seigi comments on the unusually bright colour, which Richard identifies as “Pigeon blood” meaning it was mined in Myanmar and is thus much more valuable. Richard is suspicious of Akashi’s interest in heat-treating as that only concerns the stone's monetary value. Seigi learns from Shoko, who has studied mineralogy, that heat-treating makes rubies 10 times more valuable. Richard is accosted by Homura Takashi, Akashi’s fiance, who believes she is having an affair with Richard. After the mistake is cleared up Homura reveals Akashi is actually called Sasu, and she has recently become miserable. Sasu arrives to collect her brooch but when she sees Homura she gets upset and breaks up with him before fleeing. Seigi follows and she reveals that she is actually a lesbian and had a relationship with a woman named Akashi Tatsuki for 7 years. She only agreed to marry Homura because her family expected it, but the stress of living a lie has made her sick, and she faints. After Homura learns the truth at the hospital he accepts the end of their relationship. Sasu later returns to collect the brooch, which Richard values at 10 million yen, and she decides to return it to Homura while living her life as she wishes.
