She is fearfully close to ruining it for both herself and Hinata, just one revelation away which she can't afford because it's too soon.
Sua scuttles behind her, pressing the sample costume against each side of her waist without a warning, earning a flinch from Mizuki. She squeaks and Sua retracts her hands, frowning, "I apologise, were you surprised?"
She tilts her head. Mizuki, mortified, shakes her head and reaches her hand out for the kimono instead.
"I'll draw the curtain for you," Sua steps back, untying a curtain on one side, pulling it to cover the platform. Scurrying to the other side with quick feet, she tugs it over as well, closing it completely. Mizuki lets out a deep breath, lifting the kimono to her face.
