"I'd like to know how you perceive yourself."

"Turnabout is fair play, I suppose. I see myself as an amalgam of things past and future – a timeless being who has the uncanny ability to live without tasting and to exist without notice. I'm abnormally normal, but I hide it underneath a coat of polished indifference. I'm just a girl like many others, hiding behind a mask of originality."

"What a beautiful way to describe yourself! However, I disagree. You are not an ordinary girl – you are so sensitive, so beautiful in your own way, so brilliant in your own right."

"You don't really mean that."

"Learn to accept a compliment."

"I will try."
