[Oh. Well that...certainly changes a lot of things. (And kind of sounds like why Lili isn't into the idea of people really befriending her. How does this keep happening?) Most of her anger fizzles out after that and she looks at Leon carefully before she frowns in consideration.]
If there's one thing I've learned about people like that? They give up after the first or second time you shut them down because they don't want to bother wasting their time either. You're right. They're self-serving. [The paparazzi who'd tried to crowd around the tofu shop for a glance at her were all self-serving and she ignored them well enough.] But when people keep trying even after that I don't think it's about wanting something from you. At least not status-based or anything you can heavily influence because of who your family is or what your job is.
[Leon your Issues are bigger than you are, it's so strange to her.] You eventually figure out which people are self-serving and which people actually care.
