"Niku, talk to me and tell me the truth: do you ever feel bad about your complexion? You know that it really doesn't matter, right?"

But I am not beautiful, and I am also happy about the fact because there is so much more to me than that! Also, when a person approaches me, and loves me, I know they are genuinely interested in who I am and that they will not leave me due to my appearance. But it's also true that you guys look more like twins, and not me!"
