"Spe… Special…?" May repeated, wondering if this was some new type of scam.
How could she be special in any form??
She was just a scarred uggo with barely above-average talent in Body Cultivation and no future prospects whatsoever!
Even her personality was bland and unattractive—
"You think too much," said Cassius, lightly karate-chopping her noggin to get her out of her thoughts. "You're perfect just the way you are, scar or not. And though you may not be able to see it because of this… world, I can see it. So believe me if you're unable to believe in yourself."
"Believe you…?"
Cassius showed a hurt expression. "What's with that look?? Could someone as dashing and eco-friendly as me possibly be an untrustworthy person???"
'Perfect just the way I am…'
"Hey, dove, are you listening to me…?? Hello…???"
Giving her another one of her firsts, happiness swelled up inside May's heart. Real, genuine happiness. And with it, the edges of her lips curved upward into a radiant smile.
