Of course the shiny trinkets don't even begin to compare to Cardalek luxuries, or even to all the things she misses from the Tradelines, but Ari can tell that they're meaningful to Elsie. She's not about to be dismissive or unkind.

'This is the shiniest tree I've ever seen,' says Ari, because it's true. She reaches out and touches the metal of Elsie's name, embedded into the bark. 'It's your tree, yes? Special to you?'
