Re: pel castle
1. She doesn't always get it. She struggles to properly empathize with people because she lacks the same cultural lenses, and she often feels very alone -- and it's different now, because instead of being physically alone, she ends up feeling like she's too stupid or slow or awkward to fully appreciate the company.
2. So much sugar. She tends to drink tea, but if she's out and getting coffee, she will happily order something that more closely resembles a milkshake than actual coffee.
