That... handshake event felt wrong on multiple levels. What's with characters being idolized (or in some cases, fantasized about) by their peers to such a degree?
You know dark quiet spaces where you can be alone are really nice. That's where I go when I'm overstimulated and need to think.
That sad. Speaking from experience, you should always tell the people you care about and that care about you, if you're feeling a little inferior. At least that actually care about you will have a thing or two to say about that (which ideally are along the lines of why they care about you and value your company).
(Slightly off-topic, sorry, is the translator from Stonescape, Slyde, the same one who did the earlier volumes (on Mangadex as "No Group")? I miss the voluminous translator notes.)
