Today I showed my new collection to Master: A structured dress inspired by the shapes of the gardens' pagodas, a dress of contrasting colors and textures inspired by the chaotic-yet-harmonious fabric market, and a bright and delicate dress inspired by the snack street. My proudest creation was a dress inspired by my earlier "failures." I could look at them with fresh eyes now, and although they were melted, they were still colorful and interesting. My dress reflected their unique lines in the cut of the fabric. When Master saw it, his eyes got wide, and he put a hand on my shoulder and beamed. "Everything has its beauty, little dragon," he told me. "But not everyone can see it. I think now you do." For once, I think I can understand what he means.
