DONE

[abhero]

[And back to his normal voice]

And before you realize it, he’s gone with all your money and debt collectors come banging on your door, take away your furniture and foreclose your pets!

I almost cried when I saw my inbox before I realized it was just you

[saving_sound]

[Uwah!]

Wh--

But... H-how could someone be so mean like that-?!

oops?

[abhero]

I told you, it's a harsh world. People are assholes so you can't let them walk all over you.

[Walk all over them instead.]

[saving_sound]

But that's not--

I mean... people don't... really do that.

...Do they?

[abhero]

Of course they do. I've seen it.

[More like did it.]

Surely you know not everyone is a good person.

[saving_sound]

W-well... Maybe not...

[Those thieves were pretty awful...]

But I don't want to distrust everyone right away, either...

[abhero]

Maybe not right away but some suspicion is healthy.

[saving_sound]

What's good suspicion, though? Isn't it better to be able to trust people...?

[abhero]

Trust has to be earned, you don't go around giving it to people.

[saving_sound]

But if you can't trust anyone, either...

I don't like living like that.

[It had only been for a short time in the long scheme of things, but even still...

She wants to be able to trust people.]

[abhero]

[Hamel would like that, too, but the last time he allowed himself to really trust people ended very badly for everyone involved. He may be less hesitant to try, but he isn’t over it quite yet.

He simply shrugs.]

I told you what I think. Do what you want.

[saving_sound]

...Then I'll keep trusting people, I think.

And... I hope you can trust people too, Hamel-san.
