[It's a little unnerving, the way Anthy looks at her. So many of the people she knows are open books, but Anthy's expressions are so hard to read, or like she's looking right through Maya, and Maya's first instinct is to think she's disappointed -- which causes her to deflate even further]
[But it's possible Maya has more in common with Anthy than she'd thought. From the way her eyes widen at the hand-holding, from the full out "deer in headlights" look Anthy's words earn her, it's almost like Maya doesn't know how to process real kindness and faith directed at her. Funny, for someone who makes it a point to be optimistic and encourage everyone around her]
