How can you slip to that mask so easily?

I've been watching you for a while now.

You looked stressed. You looked down. You looked like you've been carrying the world on your own.

But when your eyes landed on me, all of the traces of negativities on your face faded away. A smile lit your face and your eyes perfectly hid the pain as if they never existed in the first place?

How do you do it, Gem?

I've tried. I've tried doing the same, but you can always see through me.

I just want the others to believe that I'm perfectly fine.

Because I am happy, Gem.

You don't need to be happy every time, Cyclone. Just because you're practically happiness, it doesn't mean that you can't feel pain. Fear. Anger. Sadness. The others will always be there for you.

The same goes for the readers as well. You don't need to be happy every time. It's okay to cry. To frown. To feel emotions. It's what makes you human.
