With a yank of the last wire, her foot clattered to the concrete.

She was glad to have routine tasks for her hands and routine questions for her mouth-- something to focus on so she wouldn't get flustered and lose control of her brain's net connection again.

She was sure she'd go mad if all the market shopkeepers looked at her with the same disdain as Chang Sacha did.

"It's a huge improvement over the old one, only lightly used, and the wiring looks compatible as is. Plus, I was able to get the dealer down to just 600 univs."

Cinder adapts characters and situations from the folktale "Cinderella." Read the following summary of the folktale.
Cinderella is poorly treated by her stepmother. She manages to attend a royal dance, where a prince falls in love with her. She flees the ball at midnight, dropping one of her glass slippers. Though she attended the ball in disguise, the prince is able to identify her afterwards. To do so, he asks every woman in the kingdom to try on the slipper. Cinderella is the only one whom the slipper fits. They marry and live happily ever after.
