Yeah, I kind of get the last page. Just being called "cute" and "pretty" doesn't mean crap. Like, if someone worked hard for their looks that is warranted, and even appreciated. But if someone just exists, and that's all people say when they compliment them, there's that feeling of "really? That's the best thing you can compliment me on? Not everything else I've worked hard to achieve, but something I've just been born as?"
I don't know where they're going to go with that, but that's just my first impression of that line
