"T-That's…not true!" I said, raising my voice.
However, for some reason, I could not find a way to counter what she was saying. It was as if the words weren't coming to my mind.
'Is she telling the truth? No that's not possible! It's utter nonsense. Why would I go out of my way to trust her when that will only cause trouble? There's no way I'd do something that stupid. There's no fucking way I am that stupid!
'There must be something wrong, perhaps she is trying to manipulate me somehow. Yeah, that is entirely possible. Maybe she is using some kind of ancient magic to control my thoughts. Yes, yes, that must be it! That is why I am not able to think of anything to counter her argument.
'I mean, me trusting someone and relying on them?! What type of utterly garbage statement that is?! I work alone, I always work alone. There is no use trying to trust others, they will either just betray you or get used by your enemies, ultimately causing you harm.
