1. in “the bracelet,” ruri loses the bracelet that laurie gives to her during the first day she spends in the internment camp. ruri is quite upset until her mother speaks to her. what does ruri’s mother tell her? why are her mother’s words so meaningful to ruri as they settle into the internment camp?

That she didn't needa bracelet to rewmemberLaurie bye just like she didn't need anything to remember Her Papa or Berkley bye

An inference that can be made is that the princess is bothered about the tiger door. although there are reasons for both this one has a better reason. the princess is not a monster and even if she didn't want to marry this man she wouldn't want him to die. the grudge of death is pretty heavy. unless she has done this before and feels no regret then she wouldn't want to be married to someone of low quality, if he is low quality.
