Then it's disappointing, but not particularly surprising.

[Then it's just the default. Everyone hiding their real selves beneath.]

[fanstheflames]

And what about you? Are you honest with people here?

[vecna]

[No. Henry Creel is a walking, talking hypocrite in many ways. This is perhaps the biggest one.

So, of course:]

I keep a little anger to myself sometimes. But nothing that hides what I am.

[fanstheflames]

... Mm. I guess I still need to work on myself.

[vecna]

[That sounds like an acquiesce, so Henry consider that quietly.]

Don't you think it'll make you feel better to be more like... you? Not whatever you present yourself as?

[fanstheflames]

... [ She smiles up at him. ]

Do you think this "me" is a lie?

[vecna]

[He raises a brow.]

Not entirely. I just don't think I'm seeing all there is to you, that's all.

[fanstheflames]

I kind of feel the same way about you. Though I do think I've seen more of you than I did when we first met.

[vecna]

[There will come a time, maybe, when Tsuruno gets to see unhinged Henry. She missed the mall opportunity, but more will come. Then she'll definitely get to see the real him.

Hopefully that'll be fine.

But for now-]

Well, as much as I hate to admit it, some things take time. Maybe that's just the case with you and I.
