" Daily life. It's easier while conducting the experiment. Much like ghost floating. She [Nanette] tries to swallow her entire self deep down inside her, where no one can see. Harmless as a benign tumor. And she becomes very convincing, smiling all the time, laughing, being who everyone wants her to be, sitting with the girls again in the cafeteria instead of alone on the bench outside. "
