      I still can’t get over randomly seeing Japanese words in an English context (especially when written in Kanji) haha. But yes, I do maintain a huge (thick? tall? lot of? big?) 建前 with almost everyone.

        I did it on a wedding to top it off.
        None of the slave contractees want to see me again.
        There’s unionship celebrations, and there’s forcing people to marry for publicity ceremonies to settle the allegations of “premarital sex.”
        Quick to façade when rumors show up, but not façade when I hear crying from the bride that she doesn’t want marry the groom then.

        People really love convenient lies. Many times more bearable than deal with your own moral misguidings. And thing that upsets me the most, is they know they are being hypocritical, and enjoy every Machiavellian aspect of it.
