continuing on a self-declared expedition to at least introduce herself to everyone new (to her) in sphere, rachel recalls recognizing one of the girls from a benefit concert that sphere held shortly after she returned to seoul. she had gone to see how jinri and luna were doing, but quickly found herself distracted by all of the different faces that were present, and how a few of them were just as good as she had been when she was with sphere. all she can remember about this one, is her unique visual and how her dance skill seemed way better than most of the other girls.
if there’s anything she can truly appreciate, it’s a great dancer. rachel can tell that this girl isn’t just average, and she admires that. (from what she can remember, she was one of the only truly skilled dancers during her time at sphere- it’s a bit of an aching reminder when she realizes that this girl probably took a place that could have been hers if she hadn’t quit.) during lunch, rachel switches spots with another trainee to sit across from her. part of her hopes that she comes off as intimidating, and the other reminds herself that there’s literally no reason to be an ass to a stranger, so she smiles. “i hope you don’t mind me sitting here,” she starts, “i just realized that i remembered seeing you before and wanted to let you know that i think you’re a really, really skilled dancer. where did you learn?”
