There are the kinds you give during a performance…
Kinds you give at an interview to seem sane…
Kind you give right before you go ape-shit…
The question is, what is a smile?...
Some would said, “A muscular reaction to joy”… I say it’s nothing more then a tool used to signal happiness whether it is there or not. A smile is a quick, makeshift mask used to trick the homo sapiens around you. Why? The reason is simple. Humans couldn’t give a rat’s ass what happens to you. If you have no value to them, they simply toss you aside.
If you pose a danger, your "friends" then attempt to take your life. With a smile, the few so called "decent" monsters flock around you. A smile is a mask used to fit in and get what you want. The term "fake" smile doesn’t even exist because no smile is ever "real." Life is a war zone, and the smilers are the spies. Give up on this happiness thing real quick, and you might make it a day or two. But hell, since you’re all idiots anyway, you’ll die either way. So pick a victim, slap on a smile, and go ape-shit.

Konnichiwa!
Hey guys! So Terra couldn't post today, so I thought I would give you a special treat instead. For the next few weeks I will be introducing the main characters for Lacrime, in random order. I thought best to start strong and go with Henry's rival throughtout the book. Easily one of my favorites. ;) Here is the order each character will be revealed:
- Steven "Olly" Sheridan
- Dimitri and Natalia
- Holy Law
- False Maestro (Real name Ken Giovanni)
- Eva Presley
- Abbel Garduno
- Henry the Outsider
