Line 2) I should be asking you that. Do you think these pictures are good enough?

Line 3) Calista's inner thoughts: Oh boy! What a tough question.

Line 4) Calista's inner thoughts: I'm not the judgmental type. I don't know what to say.

Calista

Line 5) I'm not really familiar with online dating schemes.

Calista

Line 6) But I don't think seeking to be good enough is that main target.

Calista

Line 7) I think you just have to put yourself out there and see if anyone takes an interest in who you truly are.

Line 8) Marvin's inner thoughts: She explained it so nicely. I feel a bit more confident now.

Marvin

Line 9) What made you get the idea that you weren't good at comforting people?

Line 10) Calista's inner thoughts: Huh? Why's he asking me this out of the blue?

Calista flusteredly responds.

Calista

Line 11) U-Um. I can't directly recall why I've always felt this way. I just kind of have.
