[Sheegwa --in the spite of the fact that the jade on Tai-Tai's jade necklace got broken-- is forced to return the jade necklace to Tai-Tai. That is, as the scene cuts to the Magistrate and Tai-Tai's room. Tai-Tai --on the other hand-- unnoticed at first, she is seen at her dressing mirror.]
But...! But...!
There really are no "buts"! It is hers (Tai-Tai's). I know it is hard, Sheegwa. You can do it.
[thinking] Maybe I should leave it here. Then Tai-Tai would not notice that I broke it.
[After a few seconds.]
[thinking] No. It is my job to make sure that she gets it back. Broken or not, it is hers.
[Sheegwa lets out a "meow" to get Tai-Tai's attention. Despite the fact that the jade on Tai-Tai's jade necklace is broken, Sheegwa's thought is she should still give back Tai-Tai her jade necklace. Not only that, but she must also tell Tai-Tai the truth. That is, even if the necklace broken makes her --Tai-Tai-- upset. Because no one likes being fooled.]
My necklace!
[Tai-Tai she leans down and sees her necklace. Then she feels touched when Sheegwa brings back her jade necklace.]
My necklace! My necklace is found!
[She looks at her jade necklace. And she notices that it is now broken in half beyond repair. That is, the jade --green gemstone/jewel-- on her necklace. Sheegwa also tells Tai-Tai the truth and apologizes to her.]
[continues looking at the necklace] (That is okay, Sheegwa.) It might no longer be whole. But even a piece of it brings back many of the memories it whispers to me.
[Finally, she reveals her now-half necklace --the now-half jade on her necklace-- and it shows a flashback of Tai-Tai as a young child with her father. It is true. Even though her jade necklace might not be in one piece, even only part of it brings her back the memories it whispers to her. That is, according to her saying.]
Thank you, Sheegwa.
[She happily nods. Then Tai-Tai puts the jade necklace back in the treasure chest.]
