Richard’s new client, Yamamoto, requests a garnet engagement ring. When Seigi finds this odd Richard challenges him to discover why engagement rings use diamonds. Richard shows Yamamoto several garnets, pomegranate, light green and dark green. Richard appears upset at Seigi’s habit of asking questions without thinking. Seigi learns from Shoko that diamonds are popular due to clever marketing from the former diamond mining and trading monopolist. While arranging a trip with Shoko to a geological site Seigi receives a confusing text from Richard. Richard later shows Yamamoto pink rhodolite's, which Seigi comments suit her perfectly, though this upsets her and she laments not being beautiful enough to be compared to a ruby. Yamamoto admits her fiancé dumped her for a younger woman so she decided to buy a ring for herself and garnets are her birthstone. As she seems conflicted Richard tries to dissuade her from making a purchase. Yamamoto leaves but returns later, explaining she just saw her ex fiancé buying his new girlfriend a diamond ring. Richard explains garnets were used for protection by Roman soldiers, and since she has a warrior’s heart, a garnet definitely suits her best. Yamamoto leaves feeling more confident in herself. Based on their interaction with Yamamoto Richard warns Seigi that even compliments can upset people if used carelessly. Yamamoto decides not to buy a garnet but gives Richard a small Pomegranate tree as a thank you.
