[ It's slightly tempting to reply with another sarcastic quip - maybe wondering if, along the same lines, Lapis somehow seems to think Alice draws people in.
Because she knows she doesn't. She knows it's the opposite, if everything back home was anything to go by. It's like she actively repels people through an unpleasant attitude, through her resting bitchface, through her past. ]
You don't need to be anything you're not.
[ It doesn't sound like a direct reply to what Lapis is saying, but it's more a reply to the undercurrent in all of this. There's no reason to behave a certain way just to make people like you, she means. ]
Just be yourself, and see how that works out for you here. [ Because just being herself has worked out differently for Alice here - if not just slightly - compared to back home. ]
