[Nana smiles a little more -- a different one, too, like maybe she's happy Miach noticed or said so. Besides, it's nice to see her smile.
She relaxes a little; her left hand ends up on the back of her neck, as she thinks about that. Is what Miach says really true? She thinks about when she was younger; shy, in a classroom full of peers, and still feeling utterly alone.
Well...]
You're not wrong. A lot of the time, people are expected to feel happy -- at least, to act happy -- no matter how they feel. But... in this case... yes, I think it is.
I don't want to miserable -- or nobly self-sacrificing -- or anything else because it's the right way to respond to the situation. I think I'd rather smile, even when I don't really want to.
