from her own heart. She’s determined to be an artist,

Noko - Your sister. On the surface, she’s straight —

straight-A student, straight-laced, straight down the line.

She meets every expectation, day after day.

and lying about everything else. Even though

everyone seems to think you’re just a posturing liar.
