Peris, she got in some trouble with the community of New Pretty Town. When Tally was there to see Peris, she got caught being there. This was a problem because if you’re an ugly, you’re not aloud in the town with the pretties.

Man Vs. Man Tally and Shay got in an argument because they were arguing about the

operation. Tally and Shay do not agree with each other on the operation. Shay doesn’t agree with getting the operation and Tally does. Shay thinks that the operation turns you into someone you’re not, like becoming someone who isn’t you.
