Chapter Text
She is so much better at it than he is. Of course, Teruhashi is not perfect, just as he isn’t average, but she’s better at pretending than he could ever be.
She’s clever. She has God and luck on her side. But it’s the effort. She tries so hard that she just might as well be perfect, even though she isn’t, even though no one can be.

She’s a lot of things. Perfect isn’t one of them. He doesn’t mind.
