[Voice] Trust?

[unseenspy]

[This whole "Christmas" thing has certainly left Jay with something to think about. Apparently, he's made the mistake of trusting someone and paid dearly for it. Well, he's paid them back, but that's beside the point. And thus, he'd like to get people's opinions to help him analyze a certain concept.]

I'd like to discuss something with everyone. How can you tell that you can truly trust someone? How do you know they won't abandon you?

There, I've filtered this so that no one can hear us from here on.

But yes, there are specific people in mind, but I'm not interested in talking to them. They wouldn't listen anyway.

Huh? ...What do you mean, filtered it?

That's not what I meant. There are plenty of ways people can show that they're trustworthy, so if you're wondering if you can trust certain people you're going to have to describe them. ...Or is that not what you meant?

Generally, everyone can hear what goes on in the journals, so you can filter it to keep it private to yourself, or between certain people. You can ask Shirley or Walter to show you how to do it. Just to warn you, however, no matter how well you filter it, everything in the journals can be overheard by the Malnosso.

But since you're new here, I doubt you know any of these people better than I do, so describing them would be pointless.

Y-- [She catches herself before she expresses disappointment that it can't be normally filtered from the Malnosso, but she doesn't want to talk about the Malnosso any longer than she has to in case they are listening for their name.] Ah.

It's because I don't know them you'd have to describe them to me, and I'm not the only person you're asking. But if you say so.

I'm only asking for opinions about trust in general, not to confront these people. I don't recall asking anyone to butt into my personal matters.

I didn't mean for you to confront them, but if you ask it like that-- [...Wait, wasn't she supposed to be thinking about what she said before saying it? There's a pause.]

Whatever. If that's what you want. [Though she'd usually use a phrase like that somewhat sarcastically, there's no rancor in her tone this time--she just didn't bother to rephrase it more politely. It seems like he doesn't want her poking her nose into his business, so she'll keep out of it for now.]
