538 END OF LUNCH
CHARLOTTE tilted her head. Was there really something wrong with what she said? At times like this, she should rely on the list Krysta gave her. It was a list of instructions on what she should do in situations she couldn’t understand. After quickly going through it in her head, there’s only one thing that came to mind.
Smile and change the subject.
So she did, and asked Astrid, “How about you? How long have you been acting?”
Astrid was startled at first by the sudden change in topic. Normally, something like this wouldn’t faze him. But after hearing the reason Charlotte started to get into acting, it’s only natural to be a bit surprised by this sudden shift.
She started acting so she could become more human.
This was the strangest yet saddest reason he’d ever heard for someone diving into acting. He had already noticed that there was something ‘odd’ about Charlotte. He couldn’t really pinpoint it at first. But in this brief conversation, he easily realized what it was.
Charlotte Anderson was socially inept. She most likely found it challenging to interpret and respond appropriately to the emotions of others or navigate social situations with ease. That’s why her actions appeared so… disjointed.
Her ability to perform at such a high level in acting became even more remarkable, considering her limited grasp of basic human emotions. Despite this deficiency, she skillfully conveyed the appropriate emotions required for the roles assigned to her.
Or maybe acting had simply become her gateway to experience those emotions. That’s why she was able to give everything in every role.
Really, what an interesting girl.
Remembering that the other asked him something, Astrid also smiled and answered.
“Well, let’s just say I’ve been acting most of my life.”
Which was not exactly a lie. If he combined his previous life with this life, most of it was still spent in acting.
Charlotte tilted her head, seemingly confused by his statement. She looked like she wanted to ask more. But before she could, their orders arrived.
The three of them had a rather subdued lunch. Without Astrid initiating conversation, their private room would have been eerily quiet. Charlotte was trying her best at first to keep up with the conversation. But she obviously struggled. By the end, she gave up and just focus on the food.
Snow was also unnaturally quiet. Well, he wasn’t really that talkative to begin with. But he was even quieter than before. It didn’t look like it was because he was refusing to speak with Charlotte or anything. More than that, it looked more like he was in deep thought and couldn’t be bothered to join the conversation.
So, the lunch ended on a bit of a low note.
