[With all the stress she's been keeping bottled up, this was... probably inevitable. Junna is the best person that could have found her, though. Anyone else might not have understood in the same instinctive way. Not that Junna understands everything - Lisa doesn't wish some of her burdens on anyone - but it's... freeing, a little bit. She doesn't have to pretend as much.

And that, more than anything, is why she finally lets herself go just a tiny bit, with a small scoff that sounds at least a little more healthy than she's been.]


Sure it is. It's n-never been okay. Perfect ri-rich girl princesses can't show too much emotion. [Sullen, darkly defiant, even as tears start to flow.] Be- be too happy. Cry over things. It shows weakness. Gets you t-taken advantage of. [A pause, and some of the fire dims.] Not that it helps either way. They see what they wa-want to see. And they... make sure everyone else sees that.

[Her expression, unguarded, is... complicated. Still a little defiant, resentful, but mostly just haunted. Full of emotion, but none of it's positive. Her grip tightens.]

If this is h-how Hanako-kun sees school, with everyone... whispering behind your back - or r-right in front of you - and the way people act toward you being totally d-different than how they see you... the re-reasons aren't the same, but maybe I understand. Just a little.
