Anyway, everything Mandricardo says hits home with him, honestly. Even understanding that it might be a situation out of their control, that this hypothetical group might not have any real choice in the matter...]
...I find it very difficult to trust people. [He says it quietly, moving to slip his hand away from Mandricardo's.] It's the most difficult thing for me, so I understand what you mean. Knowing that they may have no choice doesn't negate the fact that they still lie to avoid suspicion. That they would and will continue to lie, if it means reaching whatever their aim is. That destroys one's ability to trust anyone here freely.
[Or maybe he's just paranoid and pessimistic, either way.]
