The reboot is probably the best place to jump in . I posted up in the original post a good guide . But you ' re right , Megadrive is a good place to jump in as well . Apparently , there ' s going to be something that hooks them into the main comic somehow . <| sep |> They are valuable as a symbol . Part of the symbol is a cultural script . Following that script has social value . Don ' t follow it , and you have the more difficult task of writing your own narrative . Part of their symbolic value is literally just their absurd cost . Cost has cultural status you communicate unfamiliar messages if you are high status but don ' t dress well , or low status and dress very well . A diamond ring or jewelry are part of that message to the world .
