To be honest, I'm not sure why I started reading this; I never really liked Lithuania in Hetalia and there are things that bother me about the Lithuania outsourcing strips... But I'm glad I did.
You seem to have such a great grasp of the age, or at least it feels really authentic to me so far. AND you write the psychological aspects just amazingly well. Especially the scene about closing the door, I just love it. On one hand Liet's desperate need for privacy, on the other his huge anxiety. I've gotten into similar situations myself with my social awkwardness. ^^; It just sounded so familiar, worrying about something really silly for ages before realizing how stupid the whole thing is but still not being able to help it. Like the other anon said, it felt like a normal, sensible person with a trauma, not a total wreck of a human being.
I can also relate to how confusing it would be in a new place with new company and not being given clear rules (or commands) and not knowing what's okay and what's not.
Oh and I love how you added an early 20th century version of ready-made meals there. :D So easy to imagine America eating canned food at the time.
Really looking forward to more of this, authornon. <3 Brilliant job so far.
