Nora reminded me of one very pretty girl I had met at otaku meeting. As soon as I saw her I told her "You're so beautiful" because she was (and is) incredibly beautiful and she shined. Many years after she said to me these words were very important to her. She had been ostracized by classmates, always had being told how strangely she looks, but those words gave her confidence.
It's interesting how much most people care about surroundings' judgement on their looks.
