Jade's Yearning story
Jade's Yearning was a perfect jade. Of course, there was plenty of personal bias involved. Still, maybe it's fine as it is?

Jade's House
Hey, Jade! Here's the book I borrowed... huh?
What's that thing next to you?
Oh, hey, Master. You can give me the book.
Yeah, here. Um... Jade?
Hm?
What's that thing next to you?
Uh... yes?
The others couldn't see it, you know.
Oh, right! That must be Jade's Yearning.
Oh dear... I hadn't thought of that.
But... what on earth is that? An egg? A huge egg? A green one?
Could her Yearning be the jadestone she was born from?
Hmm. You look troubled, Master.
H-Huh? You think so?
Yes. I just found out that only you can see this, while the others can't.
There must be a lot going through your mind right now.
Ugh, sharp as ever...!
Ahaha... That's not it... I was just thinking about how to explain this to you.
Hm?
Hm?
Explain what?
That thing next to you...?
Is it necessary?
I... guess not...?
Wait, you don't need me to explain?!
I have a rough idea of what it is.
The others can't see it. Only I can.
And if you can see it too, then...
*Gulp*
Perhaps it's some sacred object related to the Order? Something connected to the world tree, or some other kind of power?
S-She's incredible...
Is this the power of knowledge...?!
Oh... Oooh...
Hehe. Judging by that surprised look on your face, I guess I was about right.
Ah, that's right. I call that a Yearning.
Hmm... I guess there's no need for me to come up with a lie, is there?
Well, some I can see, and some I can't.
It seems like the stronger one's wish is, the more clearly it tends to manifest.
Uh... R-Really?
If that's the case...!
Could it be...?! Could this be... "Perfection"...?!
Hehe... Hahaha! I see! So that's how it is!
Huh? "Perfection"?
Yeah, I read about it in a book I got from Naia.
In the world you came from, there's supposedly a jadestone called "Perfection", right?
So I've always been curious...
What could it possibly look like to have a name like that...?
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't picture a jade that would live up to that name!
I-I see.
Her eyes are starting to look a little scary...
I-I see.
So that's what "Perfection" looks like to you.
Well, if she's satisfied with how it looks, maybe this is fine as it is?
Jade happily polished her Yearning, making it squeak with every stroke.
Seeing how happy she looked, Master quietly closed the door and left her be.
Muahahaha!!! Jade truly is the best! It's the perfect gemstone!
