Xandros knew it was her when she spilled the drink.

It was no secret that they ran wild. You could hardly go a week without seeing a False. They were everywhere, and the people knew that. They were inhuman and hostile, so you were meant to avoid them. Xandros was a part of the FDDA, the False Detection and Detainment Agency.

There was a woman who called herself Ophelia who had recently been hanging around him and some of him coworkers. They all loved her. She was empathetic, kind, funny, without being a pushover. She was always willing to help out without making you feel like a burden. So, why would she be a False? Falses are perfect and the opening clearly says she spilled something? Someone who's always willing to help, makes mistake, and will always give you a smile.

Xandros knew it was her because she wasn't perfect. Think he's wrong? She's just under perfect. She stumbles on words only sometimes, and only a little. And that smile... It was always just slightly off kilter, like it was designed to not be perfect. Xandros hated her. Her and her smile. Her comforting words. He hated what she was doing to his crew.
