"It's pretty badly damaged, isn't it?" Gongsun Ce said, "A few minutes ago I heard a description of this earring. It made me suspicious because I couldn't match it up with what was in my hand. Do you remember how Huang Qi described it?"
—That evening Kova bought a pair of new earrings. They were uniquely shaped, quite large, and very conspicuous.
"This contradiction can't be ignored. The little thing I found isn't particularly distinctive, nor is it large. Would it really stand out? That's when I thought of another possibility, maybe it's just too badly damaged..."
Gongsun Ce pinched the shorter end of the "crescent" and twisted it outward. This time, the short arc rotated 180° from left to right and flipped over to the other side of the earring, forming a shape like a crown.
"Ah! Yes!" Huang Qi exclaimed.
