I'm so mad that Ruby is such a pinch-penny that she just went to the ball in her normal clothes because buying new clothes is money she isn't willing to spend right now.
I think she's sweet! Older Rubes might have been a little weirded out, but 13 year old Rubes? She misses being close to people, and Nozomi seems like someone who is low-risk for being physically close to. =w=
