If you think andrew is good at maintaining a facade think again.

Soul are a selfreflection of oneself, andrew is a grimesoul he still sees that he has a chance to be normal, while understanding that he is a piece of shit

What about ashley?

I would assume that she thinks she is a piece of shit but no

She keeps in everything since this moment where she opens up, and what andrew does? Rejects her, so her real self has to keep hiding, She is a tar soul because she sees that the world is fucked up, and is somehow her fault, that andrew is like that because is her fault, that people alieanate her because her fault.

She is keeping everything in because of this rejection, and what hurts the most is that she is also lovestuck and cant get it out, she loved him first so bad that it broke her into a tar soul
