Manipulation is a skill. If you like the girl described in the text, she did it again.

It happens naturally. It hurts her more than it hurts you, trust me on that. She can't leave the mask behind but holding up the illusion of a reasonably well adjusted person has worn her out.

She is, in the end, the one who will never know if people would like the girl she hides inside.
